Today, Subba Rao gleaned this insight:

A quick peek at the source tells me that this is a driver in Video for
Linux for a radio tuner card (which is in the character devices section),
and it requires low-level sound drivers.  Presumably you're compiling it
in either because you have such a card, or because you just never
disabled Video for Linux support. 

You need to either deselect it in the Video for Linux section, or
re-enable sound support and enable low-level sound driver support.
