Depends on how you define `unsupported'.  Make oldconfig will tell you 
exactly and unambiguously what was wrong with the configuration.  I think 
if you're hard-core enough to vi your config, you're hard-core enough to
interpret and act on

    This configuration violates the following constraints:
    (X86 and SMP==y) implies RTC!=n

without needing some wussy GUI holding your hand :-).
