Getting a kernel's .config without running it

Getting a kernel's .config without running it

Hi all,

I have a kernel image that was compiled by someone else for a platform I 
don't own. The kernel was (probably) compiled to export its 
configuration parameters via /proc/config.gz. I want to get that file.

The problem is, of course, that I cannot run the kernel.

Does anyone know how I can extract the kernel's config without running it?

Thanks,
Shachar
