It should. Sounds like something is wrong with the file. I don't
remember any { in .config.

No. If you have no .config file you just copy it from another kernel

back it up if you want otherwise it won't make a difference.
This is what I thought - so copying my old config over should work:
# cd /usr/src/linux
# ls -a
./ .config.old .tmp_vmlinux2* Makefilee fs/
patches.txt
../ .tmp_System.map .version Module.symvers
include/ scripts/
..tmp_kallsyms1.o.cmd .tmp_kallsyms1.S .vmlinux.cmd README init/

..tmp_vmlinux1.cmd .tmp_kallsyms2.S CREDITS System.map

..tmp_vmlinux2.cmd .tmp_kallsyms2.o Documentation/ arch/ lib/
vmlinux*
.config .tmp_versions/ MAINTAINERS crypto/ mm/
.config.cmd .tmp_vmlinux1* Makefile drivers/ net/
# cp /boot/config-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 .config
cp: overwrite `.config'? y
# make oldconfig
Missing }.
# make menuconfig
Missing }.

As you can see, no config targets work at all.
