Hi Sebastian,

I was looking at what you described and initially had a hard time to
reproduce the problem, probably because I tried it after `make
mrproper'.  I am only able to reproduce the problem with an existing
.config of my running kernel, for example.

Just to make sure that I am correctly trying to reproduce the problem:
did you already try to do what you described after a `make mrproper' and
do you then also notice the described problems?  If not, could you
please try that?

Thanks,

Dirk
