Do you have a precise way to reproduce this, in particular which
target is involved ? I tried to `chmod 555' the kernel root directory,
re-ran `conf' (through the `defconfig' target) and `mconf' (manually
for this one, as check-lxdialog.sh fails when invoked though make).
The former failed with:

*** Error during writing of the configuration.

gmake[1]: *** [defconfig] Error 1
gmake: *** [defconfig] Error 2

so the error is also propagated through make(1) to the shell and the
latter failed with:

Error while writing of the configuration.
Your configuration changes were NOT saved.

So check _are_ being done whether or not the configuration can be
written, but there might be a corner-case not checked, in that case,
this specific path should be fixed.

Thanks,
 - Arnaud
