There has been quite a bit of commenting about various non-functional
forms of "make *config".
It seems that there is at least one way to have the "make menuconfig" to
work quite reliably, and the patch is short (attached at the end).
What is the problem ? Unless you have a fast machine, pressing Y/N/M can
mean LONG delays while the system munches on the effects of the change,
and generates new menu.
Still I think it is better to have a sluggish system with which one can
move back and forward, than a faulty one, which does not present some
menus at all.
