linux-2.5.68-bk8: Problem with "make xconfig"

[Karl Weigel]

Hello Roman,

I have difficulties with configuring the kernel with "make xconfig":

  g++ -Wp,-MD,scripts/kconfig/.qconf.o.d -O2  -I/usr/lib/qt3/include  -c -o 
scripts/kconfig/qconf.o scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc
scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc: In destructor `virtual ConfigItem::~ConfigItem()':
scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc:291: error: non-lvalue in unary `&'
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf.o] Fehler 1
make: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Fehler 2

After changing the offending line, it did compile and I was able to configure 
the kernel. However, I am not really sure, whether this change is correct:
