Yesterday I wanted to test the wine package (FreeBSD 1.1). 
In order to run wine
you have to set the option USER_LDT in your kernel config file.
I said config CONFGIFILE; cd /sys/compile/CONFIGFILE; make depend; make
as usual but the kernel wasn't recompiled correctly. Not all files
which were affected by the new define were compiled. 
Trying to run wine gave the error  message: "Did you set the option
USER_LDT in your kernel config file?" again.
Then I copied the config file to another file and recompiled the
complete kernel. This time the option was recognized, wine
didn't complain (it gave a segmentation fault, but his has
different reasons).
Is it known that the config mechanism has problems?
