that's odd. the selection for kernel .config support has been in
the red hat config menus for at least the last release, as well
as the extraction script .../scripts/extract-ikconfig. but this
never worked due to a missing "binoffset" utility. i even filed
a bugzilla on that (bug 65677).
just curious -- how did that ever end up in the distributed red hat
kernel if it was never standard? strange.
