I have a related wierd problem

I have a kernel source 2.6.23-2 (src RPM) updated to 2.6.22.5 (fine)

However when I patch to 2.6.23.rc5 from ftp.kernel.org I get when I
try to make config variations of

 scripts/kconfig/gconf arch/i386/Kconfig
init/Kconfig:695: unexpected end statement
drivers/misc/Kconfig:211: unexpected 'endmenu' within if block
drivers/Kconfig:94: 'endmenu' in different file than 'menu'
drivers/misc/Kconfig:16: location of the 'menu'
make[1]: *** [gconfig] Error 1
make: *** [gconfig] Error 2

never came across this before
