This has nothing to do with make.
kernel menuconfig is probably not UTF-8 ready.
Comment 2 David Tonhofer 2003-04-15 18:00:27 UTC 
Same here. It probably has to do with the ncurses library?
I don't know anything about curses, so no further info, sorry.
Tried to 'setfont alt-8x8' but top no avail. Here we
go with 'make config' Ah well...
Comment 3 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:40:03 UTC 
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
