I would add that this is far from 8K. For the following reason
-You store only what is being configured in the kernel if it is not it is not. -Many configuration option are visible in /proc already -Stuff selected as module don't need to told. they are modules anyway.
This would amount at few hundred byte to the most. I have done something like this 2 years ago. I have added a minor modification to the current config script and it was possible to extract "useful" configuration information and build /proc/config dynamicly at kernel compile time. In the config script, I was flagging the config option which were useful (because their status could not be grabbed at run time from other mean).
