[2.1.113] No-console config still won't build

As in (at least) the last several kernel versions, v2.1.113 won't build if
support for the VGA console has been disabled. The build quits with this error:

drivers/video/video.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run
ranlib to add one

The last time I complained about this a helpful person posted a patch to
Rules.make that fixes the problem (shown below). How come this patch hasn't
made it into the kernel? Am I the only person who is using the no-console
config option?

Thank you.
