I was getting this error when doing "make xconfig" with
kernel-source-2.4.18-16mdk:
[root@lgm linux]# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-16mdk/scripts'
cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk
3rdparty/dxr3/Config.in: 8: can't handle dep_bool/dep_mbool/dep_tristate
condition
make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-16mdk/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
and another, similar error for 3rdparty/lirc/Config.in.
The problem was some of those 'dep_tristate's apparently don't have any
dependencies. So, I just changed them to regular 'tristate's.

Here's a patch to fix both files:
