If you want to make any changes to the default kernel configuration you
should take note that 'make mrproper' would clear such changes (it would
delete the file '.config' which contain the configuration). Therefore,
if you have already made any configuration changes via menuconfig or
xconfig you should either do not issue command 'make proper' or backup
.config somewhere before that command and restore after that command.
Actually, 'make mrproper' command is usually needed only after
unsuccessful kernel builds when 'make clean' does not restore the
correct source tree state - such an incorrect state may be the reason of
errors during compilation (usually those errors relate to files'
dependencies). Usually, 'make clean' is enough to wipe the files created
or modified by the unsuccessful build attempt and restore correct state.
