If you're using the RedHat sources, do a "make mrproper" before you do the "make <NULL|menu|x>config". For reasons best known to them, the RedHat kernel sources are supplied in an uncompilable state. The mrproper command executed before the make config sets them to a compilable state, so that you will be able to then compile witout problems.
Also, remember to do the mrproper stuff before *every* kernel compile.
