No, the trick is to pick the correct --with-arguments - or use
interactive configuration where it is explained that you first have to
decide about the build model (classic like 2.0.x or in-kernel). When
using configure directly (I'm citing --help ;) ):

  --with-rtext=RT-EXTENSION
                          installation path of RTAI or Xenomai 2.0.x
  --with-linux=LINUX      real-time extended Linux kernel
  --with-rtext-config=CONFIG-PATH
                          path of the RT-extension's config tool

So, either use the first switch for 2.0.x or the two others for 2.1 and
above. But the advantage of the make *config path is that RTnet will
leave a .rtnet_config behind which can easily be reused with make oldconfig.

Keep up your great work!
