You can get the options used to build a kernel with vmlinux --showconfig. Save that as .config and rebuild it. If there is a change, you may have found an important bug (when rebuilding the same kernel on different systems causes the kernel to work or not, that's a problem). If you want to use that with a newer kernel, after saving .config do "make silentoldconfig ARCH=um" to choose the new options. However, please take one of them (we're more interested in the latest) and do a proper bug report (host machine / distro / 32-64 bit / Uml version ....).
