Well, not interrupting, that _would_ be counterproductive. But I
was not aware of `make oldconfig', that takes care of the only
human non-"cut&pasteable" element of my compilation. Thank you
(I spent a few minutes looking at the configure script, but
decided against modifications).
What I do, then, without any cuts, is:

I produce a kernel normally when I use the default .config file.

It was generated by menuconfig, I haven't changed it. I think
that the unusual combinations of #defines make a problem in the
kernel source appear. How many among you have tried to compile
an a.out 2.0.33 kernel with no IDE and no MS-DOS support? I feel
sure it's something like that. Can there be another explanation?
I forgot:
sysop@bigears:/usr/src/linux$ gcc --version
2.7.2.1
The system is a more or less standard Debian `bo' (libc 5).
Thank you for any help (and please do cc: me on your replies).
