actually, for both kernels I started from gdium_small_defconfig and made minor 
changes (adding a custom 
version label; turning of sound support; removing drivers like SM7xx 
framebuffer; etc.)

for the configuration files
---------------------------
2.6.37.5, 2.6.38.3: sensors section in my config is identical to gdium_small

2.6.37.5, 2.6.38.3: rtc section in my configs seem to have additionally:
CONFIG_RTC_LIB=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc0"
CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_RTC_INTF_PROC=y
CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV=y

but I do not recall changing anything, I think these lines are generated 
automatically
