There are many errors for make menuconfig[1], following are some of
them. Perhaps I did not install one library for the text style menu,
and got those error message. I can invoke the $ base-config on Debian
Linux, it's a text style menu application. Last time, when I did the
kernel upgrade from 2.4 to 2.6 on Debian, I also can not execute $ make
menuconfig. I executed $ make config to achieve that upgrade. (But now
I even get errors on $ make config[2]!)

"make menuconfig" requires libncurses5-dev

[2] error message from $ make config
---quoting---
include/asm/processor.h: In function `cpuid':
include/asm/processor.h:152: internal compiler error: Segmentation

Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.

You might need a gcc newer than 3.3 to build the most recent kernels.
