No. You have to insist that whoever distributes the kernel binary also distributes the .config file that it was compiled with.

This is a problem for the distributors, not for the kernel. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
