Nothing is generated in the Makefile, your personal preferances shown
in make menuconfig are saved to ./linux/.config but that is irelavant
against what you want.
ip_forwarding is set at boot time, or at least redhat does, its done
in /etc/sysconfig/network
FORWARD_IPV4=true
or at the command line, you can issue the following command.
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
