Ok, thanks for the fast answer! :)

But this does mean that I somehow have to stop the 'standard' kernel 
build (which uses the defconfig coming with OE), copy the new 
defconfig (e.g. from the fetched kernel's arch/arm/configs) in place 
and then re-start the kernel compilation (manually) again?

Is there no chance to tell OE/bitbake to directly take the defconfig 
from the fetched kernel's arch/arm/configs directory without any 
manual user interaction (except modifying some recipes)?

Sorry if I misunderstood anything! ;)

Best regards
