Thanks for the report! I'd like to reproduce the issue since I am not sure how
this change caused it...

I tried to build a kernel with the attached config file, and got the following
error. Not sure what I am missing.

----
$ make -j24 ARCH=i386
:
LD drivers/built-in.o
LINK vmlinux
./.config: line 44: $'\r': command not found
Makefile:929: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 127
----

Do you have steps to reproduce the issue? Or do you see it during boot-time?

Thanks,
-Toshi
