That's why I use make olddefconfig in such a case. This takes all the

Ah. never used olddefconfig, I'll give it a spin.
Note that there's sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin now. You can use that
without having to build anything. Or, you can use that at first, and
then use its config in sys-kernel/gentoo-sources and tweak it to your needs.
There's also sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel but it's description is confusing
as hell: "Linux kernel built with Gentoo patches". Which to me sounds
exactly like gentoo-kernel-bin just with slightly different wording... :-/
