Hi Alexandre,

This may not be causing your problem, but I just want to warn people here.

If you use make with multiple targets, and configuration is one of them,
then the targets after that will go a little haywire because 'menuconfig'
changes all the CONFIG_* options but 'make' does not read the new values.

In your case it's probably harmless unless one of the options you are
using is CONFIG_MODVERSIONS or you have something really strange going
on. People who do 'make menuconfig zImage' are asking for trouble though.

I'm hoping to fix this in 2.3.
