... OTOH if you get an error for /bar/staging/foo, you easily can find
CONFIG_FOO and "disable" it. If you use menuconfig instead it's not
that pleasant. Dependencies are seldom an issue (were never an issue,
IIRC I run into this issue for the first time).

I agree that "usually" there aren't issues, it's likely related to an
oldish kernel I try to build.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ uname -r
3.10.61-rt65-1-rt-lts

It might be neurotic, but I like to verify, that really everything is
done after oldconfig run, that's why I run it a second time.

I already planed to use menuconfig next time, but I suspect it isn't
easy to find CONFIG_MPILIB.

I'm not sure if this will help when using menuconfig

(at the bottom "GnuPG MPILIB", other links were less informatively)

it didn't help, when manually editing.
