I am compiling the kernel with toolchain rather than OE and when I
start the make process my custom .config is over written  and thus my
appended CONFIG_XXXXX are not built into the kernel. I checked during
the make process and my CONFIG_XXXXX were missing from .config!

How can this behavior be controlled?
