Me too. It seems that there were some changes recently in the .config
file. I recently built a 3.7.10-gentoo-r1 kernel on a new machine and
was on the verge of sending an email to the list asking what the bleep I
was doing wrong. After some experimentation, I found that I need either
CONFIG_RTC=y or CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y.
make menuconfig

You might be able to get away without the the legacy RTC support if
you enable HPET. I don't know.
