At least in the kernel Makefile there is no hint about /proc/config.gz

If there is no .config or .config.old it will load a default
configuration which is probably not what you want.
Having a config in /proc is a option in the kernel. You just have to
turn it on. It is under the General setup as "Enable access to .config
through /proc/config.gz". I have mine here:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / # ls -al /proc/config*
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 10060 2008-08-05 14:19 /proc/config.gz
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / #
It can prove helpful at times.

yeah, but it doesn't change that you still have to run make oldconfig.
I love /proc/config.gz, especially because of zless and zgrep
True, I took what you wrote a little differently than what I think was
intended. You do still have to run make oldconfig tho. I may test not
running it just to see but I would not take the chance long term. It
may work fine but it may not. It doesn't take to long to run so why not?
