Hmm , I'am running 2.6.27.13-HEAD_20090125010735_8d0b1ab5-default x86_64 from 
http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/x86_64/ and I had no 
problems to build 180.22. 
However I didn't clone the configuration from the previous version , but used 
the SUSE default configuration  from linux-2.6.27.13-
HEAD_20090125010735_8d0b1ab5-obj/x86_64/default/.config
