Here's what I get:

proot samiam:/sys $ find . -name opt_userconfig.h -print
./compile/SAMIAM/opt_userconfig.h
proot samiam:/sys $ more ./compile/SAMIAM/opt_userconfig.h
#define USERCONFIG 1
#define VISUAL_USERCONFIG 1

Try redoing the config <KERNEL> (ie don't blow away the directory and
run the config). If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the kernel
source files.

Paul.
