Hi all,

As you could see in my former mail, I have a very good source tree now.
But while trying things out, I spotted a bug while using 'make xconfig'

Please take a look at the following diff:

.config.old == config generated by 'make xconfig'
.config == config generated by 'make menuconfig'

The _selected_ configurations are exactly equal, but the results differ a lot!
The version from 'make menuconfig' is the correct one.
The little differences in comment in the file are removed, just the flaw is
showed.

As you can see, the two defines to get the nfs.o module work are not there
in the version from 'make xconfig'

I hope this bug that cost me a few hours can be fixed soon !

Happy Hacking,

Best Regards,

Bas.
