It seems to work for me. After creating a .config, I did:

$ git bisect good v2.6.23
$ git bisect bad HEAD
$ git bisect run make -j64 kernel/

Then I had to answer some configuration questions (I hit <enter>  everytime) 
but it run fine.

My git version is:

git version 1.5.3.7.2200.g9275-dirty

I attached the log (from git bisect log) and here is the end of the 
bisection:

94545baded0bfbabdc30a3a4cb48b3db479dd6ef is first bad commit
bisect run success

It found the HEAD as the first bad commit as expected, because I had no 
compilation error.
