It seems that this time, I cannot even build this RC. When I run "make menuconfig" I get a big serious of warning and error messages; something seems to be really messed up here...

Ick, yes, I can reproduce this myself here, something is odd. Let me track it down...
Ok, found the offending commit, will push out a -rc2 in a bit with this fixed, thanks for testing!

I was too tired yesterday evening to investigate my build error and poke around deeper, but today I looked into it again, and I found that when I revert the two kconfig patches in this RC
7c177eca9e7af1f0a56171b7718a1b05aaa0f237 "kconfig: fix static linking of nconf" eb5defa1e8284b8b79653beadc92c273c170db7d "kconfig: refactor Makefile to reduce process forks"
then my build error goes away, the build succeeds and the produced kernel seems to work fine.
