Looks like this patch was merged:

http://www.kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=70a6a0cb92f24fd6bbe2e75299168909f735676a

I noticed with builds of -git3/-git4, I get the following complaints
from oldconfig:

scripts/kconfig/mconf.c: In function `main':
scripts/kconfig/mconf.c:1048: warning: statement with no effect
scripts/kconfig/mconf.c:1049: warning: statement with no effect

Not a big deal, just more complaints to have to see during the build
process (with CONFIG_NLS=y) :)

Thanks,
Nish
