Your approach is fine so far. How you have to go about now depends on what exactly you're changing. The cleanest approach is this:
Copy your new .config to source/linux/Bering-2.4.32.config, run "./buildtool.pl srcclean linux" (note, that it's "linux" and not kernel" - that part is a little confusing, but it comes from the wierd dependencies between kernel source and buildenv I mentioned yesterday). After that run "./buildtool.pl buildclean kernel", "./buildtool.pl source linux" and then "./buildtool.pl build kernel" If all you're doing is changing the config, you should also get by with simply running "./buildtool.pl buildclean kernel" followed by "./buildtool.pl build kernel" - wether that is enough or not mostly depends on wether the kind of change you made (some of the information is cached and not deleted in a "buildclean" run). The thing you're stumbling over is probably that you're expecting the build to be re-done, because the config changed - which is not how buildtool works - if you've built something and wand to rebuild it, you need to undo the "build" by "buildclean" (or even sourceclean, which will undo the "source" and "build" targets). I hope that clarifies things a bit.
