Hi Darrick,
the new prompt "CRC32 implementation" doesn't have an own help text, only
its subsequent options have. This is fine with a configurator like
xconfig. But "make oldconfig" only shows help text at the choice itself,
not at the options:
$ make oldconfig
[...]

Hmmm, I guess there should be help available for this option. Will send one
soon.
