I found the problem:

We run "find some-dir -name *.in" for the autogenerated kconfig menus.
This happens in the current working dir and because it wasn't quoted
properly you go "find some-dir -name openssh.in" and most generated menus
are missing.
dgen parses the output of kconfig to set up the dependencies. With the
missing files kconfig fails. Unfortunately kcondig send the error message
to stdout (same as the dependency data) so it's not visible :-(

I've push a patch that qoutes "*.in" so this should not happen any more. I
have no idea how to get a better error message if kconfig fails for some
other reason.
