After pulling latest git from Linus (v2.6.37-rc6-132-g55ec86f)
I can't compile it anymore:
[mafra@Pilar:linux-2.6]$ make -j2 O=/mnt/ext4/kernel-output/
GEN /mnt/ext4/kernel-output/Makefile
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
drivers/i2c/algos/Kconfig:6: unknown option "visible"
drivers/media/common/tuners/Kconfig:48: unknown option "visible"
drivers/media/video/Kconfig:115: unknown option "visible"
drivers/media/dvb/frontends/Kconfig:16: unknown option "visible"
make[3]: *** [silentoldconfig] Fehler 1
make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Fehler 2
This was introduced by 37e3273ee52f ("media/video: convert Kconfig
to use the menu's `visible' keyword"), but I did a quick search
and apparently I am the only one with a broken build.
In any case, that's a regression for me and therefore I'm reporting it.
I can test patches etc and provide more info if needed.

Did you build from a clean tree or a dirty one ?
I know these is issue with Kbuild where the parser will not get
updated to the new version if the target already exist but is older
than the current "shipped" one.

It was the same one which I always compile after pulling.
So there is compiled stuff in the build dir /mnt/ext4/kernel-output
(in an external hd).

Hm, not sure what this means. Should I do a 'make clean' to get it
back working?

Yes, if you build kconfig in the source tree and then do another build
in a separate directory (make O=/some/where), the build system will not
detect this and happily use generated kconfig files from the previous
build attempt. I really should fix this given the pace of kconfig
development lately :-).

Ah, it works now. Sorry about the noise.
