This is the error - the bog standard error that the kernel compile 
throws up when ncurses-devel package is missing. Except it isn't missing 
in this case:

# make clean
# make menuconfig
   HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
   HOSTCC  scripts/basic/docproc
   HOSTCC  scripts/basic/hash
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o
  *** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
  *** required header files.
  *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
  ***
  *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.

make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1

# rpm -qa | grep ncurses

/usr/src/linux is on nfs
/ is on glusterfs

The same works when / is on ext3 (from two different machines that mount 
/usr/src from the nfs server).

Logs would be really useful, but I'm not sure how I could provide those 
until syslog support becomes available in glusterfs. :(
