I had the same problem with xconfig when I rolled 2.5.9. A bit more
looking into it made me wonder about the conditional of Config.in on that
line. Currently shows:

if [ "$CONFIG_ISDN_BOOL" == "y" ]; then

I reversed this condition to make it != "y", and it worked. See below
for patch. I'm not sure if this is correct, because I'm not that familiar with
it (though I should!) but it made make xconfig work for me again. YMMV.

BL.
