I have no trouble reproducing it.

mkdir X64
make O=X64 ARCH=x86_64 defconfig all

and it prints:
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `/tester/linsrc/linux-2.6.25-rc7-git6/Makefile'.
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

before it does the defconfig part.

There is no $topdir/.config or $topdir/include/config.
Those do exist in the O=X64 directory, however.
