The correct way to merge a previous .config is
    cp someolddir/.config .
    make oldconfig menuconfig
         ^^^^^^^^^
         in particular

so while you're at it, to upgrade a kernel, all you need is

 | nice make oldconfig menuconfig dep clean bzImage modules

and optionally some form of install commands on the end. (Personally, I use
fakeroot at this stage to build a tarball ready to be unpacked into /. YMMV.)

HTH,
