# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r7/scripts'
cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk
-: 309: can't handle dep_bool/dep_mbool/dep_tristate condition

This still worked as recently as gentoo-r5.

potential patch

Not being a regular xconfig user, I can't say for certain that this patch fixes
the problem, or if it does, whether it does so in an appropriate manner, but I
submit it nonetheless for scrutiny.

fix works, but this is fixed without any work in the mjc-sources releases =).  
If you really want to put this in -gentoo for now, I will, but mjc-sources is 
getting ready to replace gentoo-sources.
