I just go through menuconfig and strip out all the junk I know I don't need.
I've not had to do that for a while as my .config seems to automatically when I
download, unzip, and build from a new source.  I.e. all the junk I'd already
stripped out stays stripped out.

Yes, using these instructions:

I still do it the old way listed above.  Works great for me.
