That doesn't seem cover the cases that I'm concerned with. I don't see anything related to "!sym" in the patch. What will KCONFIG_VERBOSE do if it reads the following config file? // assuming that both config options were valid and existed in the old // kernel, but were removed/renamed in the new kernel $ cat .config CONFIG_DISABLE_BUGS=y # CONFIG_ENABLE_WINAPI is not set I'd like to see warnings for both lines, even for config that is not set, because it maybe we set by a build script depending on USE flags for instance, so that build target may still refer to non-existent config.
