Subject/proc/config.z disappeared in 2.4.24
[SuSE x86 linux 8.2, 2.4.24 kernel building]

I've been upgrading from 2.4.20 (SuSE) to a fresh generic kernel from
ftp.kernel.org: 2.4.24. In previous builds there
was a very handy virtual file /proc/config.z that allowed me to find
out exactly how the currently running kernel was configured. I could then do

cd /usr/src
tar xvfz /tmp/linux-2.4.24.tz
cd linux-2.4.24
zcat /proc/config.z >.config
make oldconfig -- hit return a few dozen times
make menuconfig -- fix a few things
make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install

The /proc/config.z file seems to have disappeared! Is there some
config parameter that enables this? Or has it gone away between 2.4.20
and 2.4.24?
