#:configs and #:defconfig both cause this error:

customize-linux is very limited in that it doesn't resolve the config
inter-dependencies.  So if you try to enable CONFIG_FONTS but forget to
also enable any of its required options, you'll end up in the situation
above.

I'd suggest producing a defconfig file with all the correctly resolved
dependencies using the 'make savedefconfig' or similar after modifying
the config with 'make menuconfig'.

Let me know how it goes.
