Yeah, been there, done that. Normally, I just throw away the complete
compilation directory before I start compiling the kernel to be
extra-safe.
Whilte I have no idea whether a "make depend" would do me any good, I
always do that as well.

I'll recompile (from scratch) both the last working and the
non-working config to see whether they are just that (working
vs. non-working). If so, I'll come back with a diff. If not, I'd still
be greatful for a hint as to what is missing from the clearly
non-working one.

Thanks for any help you have provided so far.
