Hello,
a _lot_ of build tests of my (compile) test script failed with:
...
LD drivers/i2c/algos/built-in.o
CC drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.o
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.c: In function 'i801_probe':
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.c:642: error: implicit declaration of function 'pci_request_region'
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.c:682: error: implicit declaration of function 'pci_release_region'
make[3]: *** [drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/i2c/busses] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/i2c] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
I hard coded my script to prepend these 2 lines
CONFIG_PCI=y
CONFIG_I2C=y
at top of the each .config file before I run "make oldconfig" however the
resulting config CONFIG_PCI is very often unset.
I'm wondering which kernel config I've to set in addition to the 2 lines to
circumvent the current situation until kbuild handles such case correctly. Most
of the reported build failures results from the issue seen above which makes
the current test runs nearly useless :-(
I attached a config file as an example.

Why are you doing the "<tweak config file> && make oldconfig" steps at all?
Shouldn't KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG do what you want?

I grep out some stuff from the randomly generated config file.
Furthermore I prefer to have to whole stuff together in single file.
