Added Yann and the linux-kbuild list to CC. Reproducer:

  git checkout 1fe0135
  make mrproper
  make allmodconfig
  make silentoldconfig
  git checkout aa8032b
  make allmodconfig
  make silentoldconfig

conf_write_autoconf() first calls conf_split_config() to generate the
include/config/**.h hierarchy, then generates include/config/auto.conf.
For some reason, conf_split_config() reads include/config/auto.conf,
which may not exist yet or may be out of date. Yann, can anything break
if we simply do not read that file from conf_split_config(), like this?

diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c b/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c
index c55c227..8c90835 100644
