You _can_ avoid it by seeding those configurations.  You place the
options you want to force to a specific value in a file, and then
do:

make allmodconfig KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=seed-config-file

So, to turn off samples:

CONFIG_SAMPLES=n

in seed-config-file.  Hence, you can still do an allmodconfig build but
without building the samples subdir.
