/proc/config.z disappeared in 2.4.24


[SuSE x86 linux 8.2, 2.4.24 kernel building]

I'm building kernels from ftp.kernel.org: 2.4.24. In previous builds there
was a very handy "file" /proc/config.z that allowed me to find out exactly
how the currently running kernel was configured. I could then do
cd /usr/src/linux-xx.yy.zz/
zcat /proc/config.z >.config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig -- fix a few things
make dep && make bzImage ...

The /proc/config.z file seems to have disappeared! Is there some
config parameter that enables this? Or has it gone away between 2.4.20
and 2.4.24?

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
