Subject: make menuconfig refuses to let CONFIG_X86_64=y and CONFIG_64BIT remain

Hello I'm new to the list.  In the process of using make menuconfig, I
used an older config(2.6.11) to start my new configuration (2.6.17) and
notice that original settings for CONFIG_X86_64=y and CONFIG_64BIT=y are
being over ridden and replace by CONFIG_M686=y setting and
CONFIG_X86_32=y

Does this sound like new dependencies have been added for X86_64 support
and menuconfig is disabling the symbol because of a dependency shortage?

When I search on the symbol in the menuconfig GUI I see that it calls
out the flag as Symbol: X86_64 [=X86_64]... no other dependency's are
specified there.  

Can anyone explain this behavior to me?
