OK so make menuconfig works.
To make things a bit quicker, I loaded the config file for my current
2.4.18-mdk Mandrake kernel from /boot/config and poked around in that
and tweaked a few options. It now is in make bzImage and ...
Bollocks! It now gave me an...

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.5.8/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon   
-nostdinc -I /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.0.4/include
-DKBUILD_BASENAME=hpt34x  -c -o hpt34x.o hpt34x.c

hpt34x.c:328: too few arguments to function `ide_build_dmatable'

[root at abe linux]#

So maybe I shouldn't use a config file from 2.4.18! It's possible that
Mandrake has extra patches and associated config options that aren't in
the 2.5.8 source. I'll try again with a start-from-scratch config file.
Back to grindstone
