Configuration weirdness - 2.2.0pre4

Hello *,

Some notes about configuration weirdness in 2.2.0-pre4 (I have not had time
to grab a more recent version to test):

Configure.help says:
CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN
The vast majority of SCSI devices have only one LUN, and
so most people can say N here and should in fact do so, because it
is safer.

but it defaults to Y in the distributed tarball.

If you disable modules, then select to build something as a module,
it does not give you an error - it responds as if you typed "?".

The message at the bottom:

and do a 'make dep ; make clean' if you want to be sure all the
files are correctly re-made

should probably say:

and do a 'make dep && make clean'

in case dependency errors get scrolled off the screen by
the 'make clean'.

I got an error compiling the serial port support. I do not know
if this is an error in the code or the configuration. It
appears that 'rs_interrupt' can be defined three different ways,
but with the attached .config (which was generated from make config),
it does not get defined at all!

My setup:

486, 16MB RAM, SCSI + IDE disks, the following system tools:
$ gcc --version ; ld -v ; ls -l /lib/libc.so.5 ; ldd -v ; expr --version
2.7.2.3
GNU ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD 2.9.1.0.15)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jan 10 23:41 /lib/libc.so.5 -> libc.so.5.4.46
ldd: version 1.9.9
expr (GNU sh-utils) 1.16

The error messages:
