I posted this problem in June:

I just ran into the same problem again, and I had forgotten how I
fixed it last time. So I'm posting this message, so that next time
it happens, I can look in the archives, and find the solution. :)

The fix is to configure the kernel. That creates autoconf.h.

The thing I still don't know, however, is when and why it gets deleted.
Does anybody know?
