No, "make oldconfig" takes over the available ".config" file without
giving you the chance to edit it. If you want to edit the kernel
config, choose among "make config", "make menuconfig" (recommended!)
or "make xconfig". In that case, you don't need/run "make oldconfig".

I just used it in this thread to demonstrate that the available
kernel configs work.
