Good idea. Downside would be that it won't solve the real problem
for s390 (which is lack of allmodconfig/allyesconfig compile test
coverage because COMPILE_TEST isn't set anymore), but that is a
different problem anyway, and my original patch doesn't solve
that either.

On the other side, if that flag would be set explicitly by
all{yes,mod}config, it would really beg for being misused. We
might then as well add a new flag that is explicitly associated
with all{yes,mod}config, but not with randconfig.

Thanks,
