Hard to say something from this output. Would need more info.

Which ones?

That doesn't work even with a standard Linux tree, in the same way. I
think you cannot just put CONFIG_FOO=m on the command line, I guess the
redefinition errors come from that. For CONFIG_TCG_TPM you probably need
to configure it into .config which will also enable all the requirements
needed by CONFIG_TCG_TPM.
