Just remove the two statements in the Config.in files
and you´re able to configure your kernel.

[expert] Kernel 2.2.19 fails to compile

[Bill Kenworthy]

Hi I upgarded my Mandrake 7.2 system to the 2.2.19 kernel but had to
return to 2.2.17 as some modules needed by my system were not present. 
I have just tried to compile a custom kernel and xconfig, menuconfig etc
all die with two missing parts.  One is "net/ipsec/Config.in" from
freeswan which I grabbed a copy of, but this failed to satisfy it (still
looks for freeswan-1.8 - will have to find another copy somewhere)and
its also looking for something called security/Common.in which doesnt
exist except in the config file.  None of the menu programs for the
kernel will run.  make old-config, make mrproper etc does not clear the
error.  I was able to compile previous custom kernels on this system
with no problems.  I think I am missing a package that should have been
installed that wasnt present on the older kernel - but which one?

This is the same issue I reported a couple of weeks ago.
