i dont have it anymore, but the key was what i wrote in the changelog 
above:

  CONFIG_DVB_CORE=m
  CONFIG_TUNER_TDA8290=y

if you look at the symbols above, their definition sites, and the 
dependencies between them you'll see why that breaks the build. (There 
might be more to it, this area has been a frequent source of problems.)

right you are, thanks - the above change was the best hack 4 hours of 
sleep can buy ;-) Simplified patch below.

fix build failure:

 drivers/built-in.o: In function `tda829x_attach':
 : undefined reference to `tda827x_attach'
 drivers/built-in.o: In function `tda829x_attach':
 : undefined reference to `tda18271_attach'

due to:

  CONFIG_DVB_CORE=m but CONFIG_TUNER_TDA8290=y.
