I was not aware that there was a problem. cp .config and make oldconfig
should be sufficient -- and I don't understand why you would need to hit
enter many times.

I repeated this on my system without having to answer any oldconfig prompts
and still got build errors.

There is no secret that I know of, but it would be good to get to the
bottom of this problem.
