 BTW you cant run ldd on "make menuconfig", you need to dig into the 
script and find an executable , in this case mconf

on my Gentoo box I find this. Dont know how Debian is set up.

bash-3.2#ldd mconf
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7eb5000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7d81000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7d7d000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f18000)
bash-3.2#pwd
/usr/src/linux/scripts/kconfig
