Indeed not - if you hadn't already used that format I would have
munged it.  Grew up on gcc, so this is my favorite error message
format.  Yours too, I guess. (:

CONFIG_SERIAL and CONFIG_PCMCIA didn't generate any noise, though.
Minimum necessary change and all that.  It's easy enough to add later,
if desired.

Here's a start.  It looks a little hacky but it does fix real issues.
I decided to combine "general setup", "module config" and "major
subsystems" - the latter needs to come after modules but really
belongs with general setup.  Eh?

I think the first patch belongs on trivial@rustcorp - what's the
protocol there, just an email cc?  Attach or inline?  etc.
