make errors

Gang,

I'm attempting to compile BusyBox for a project I'm working on, but am 
encountering errors. I started via "make menuconfig" to configure 
BusyBox and generate a .config file (which I did save). Afterwards I 
start the "make" process, which immediately bombs with several screens 
worth of errors ending with:

applets/usage.c: In function ‘main’:
applets/usage.c:52: error: request for member ‘usage’ in something not a 
structure or union
applets/usage.c:52: error: request for member ‘usage’ in something not a 
structure or union
make[1]: *** [applets/usage] Error 1
make: *** [applets_dir] Error 2

I can provide more information to anyone that can help me. Also, it's 
been soooo long since I've compiled a Kernel (and BusyBox uses that 
style of config), I don't have to pass anything to make in order to use 
my generated .config file from "make menuconfig" right?

Thanks,
Dave
