Well, I would start from an existing kernel configuration, instead
than from scratch. You might want to start with a:

$ make oldconfig

and after that give a:

$ make menuconfig

and configure whatever option you need. I am sure there might be
better, fancier, more modern ways of doing the same thing nowadays,
and there are also X-, QT-, and GTK-based configuration tools, but for
a reason or another I got stuck with what I learned a few years ago,
and it has always worked fine for me.
