Looks like you lack write access to either .config, include/config/auto.conf or
a temporary file.
Did you build the kernel as root previously?

To clean up all files you can do:
copy .config save.config
make mrproper
mv save.confif .config

(And I use copy when backing up .config to avoid inherit
permissions from original .config file
