Sure, but it's not a case of missing modules! I don't want to use a kernel
with CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE=y (I'm not sure whether this could be a
module), and I'm not sure about CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y either. IOW, I can't
consider this a bug, it's just a feature I hate. It's not the first time I
build a kernel, as I was a Gentoo user, but I want to build and maintain one
that is so closed to mainline Arch as possible, to minimize future work.


Thanks,

Jorge
