Let me try (on my i386 box so I use x86_&4 so I know oldconfig will ask):
$ make defconfig ARCH=x86_64
#
# configuration is based on '/home/sam/kernel/kbuild.git/arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig'
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ make oldconfig > /dev/null
aborted!

Console input/output is redirected. Run 'make oldconfig' to update configuration.

make[1]: *** [oldconfig] Error 1
make: *** [oldconfig] Error 2



And then with a config that does not need an update:
$ make defconfig
#
# configuration is based on '/home/sam/kernel/kbuild.git/arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig'
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ make oldconfig > /dev/null
$

Seems like I already fixed it :-)
That was a side-effect of touching some code in conf.c

Note by the way the output of 'make oldconfig' - nada.
I simply dropped the chatty mode as noone used it
for anything sensible anymore.
