I vaguely recall running into something like that myself.  Some of
these dependencies are not at all obvious.  In general the make
menuconfig (or especially xconfig) search options will quickly find an
item even if it is hidden in the menu, and show you which flags aren't
set in your context.  Granted, that often leads to another search, and
possibly finding other items not enabled.  It rarely goes deeper than
2-3 levels though.
