Sometimes, perhaps when selecting options results in subsequent dialogs, 'make config-recursive' doesn't do all the first time, meaning I get subsequent dialogs. I run 'make config-recursive' repeatedly until it just returns to the command prompt with no more dialogs. I like to make package-recursive | & tee build.log so as to have a record especially if not all goes well; this applies equally for 'make install clean' I like to have all config dialogs done and out of the way.
