I was confused. Anyhow my custom kernels have always been (and probably always will be) based on generic and almost invariably only adding things which are not default parts of generic. The problem was a missing "device wlan_amrr" line which I had skipped by accident while merging my older 6.3 custom config and 7.0 generic. Previously parallel make has not let the potential error messages roll several hundreds of lines out of a 50 line xterm window but given up very quickly after an error. For some reason this time any alleged error messages managed to speed out of the xterm buffer completely. Recording the whole build to a typescript file will apparently be necessary in the future. This experience anyhow raised a question as well. Should there be some sort of dependency checking added to kernel builds such that any missing features were implicitly included if other explicitly configured features depend on them? Such an extension could also make a point of informing the poor fool building the kernel - in this case that would have been me - of the features that need to be implicitly included as dependencies.
