If you have a stable kernel and it's configured then hopefully you saved your .config file in /usr/src/linux . When I find a good configuration I copy the file to config-raul or something like that. Then I run checkout from /usr/src/linux/driver/char/speakup. Update speakup, then run make mrproper which will clober your .config file. This is why you want to have a backup of it. ONce make mrproper is done copy your backed up config file to .config and run make oldconfig. Then make dep; make bzImage.
