You will get that error on x86_64 if you try and run 'make xconfig' on 
the source tree that is extracted after, for example, running 'rpmbuild -bp'

As the normal build process is all command line driven, then this is not 
a problem.

There are a few patches out there to work round this (and I believe it's 
fixed in more recent kernels). The patch I use which works for me is 
attached.
