It is more about 'extra' as commented (or 'additional'), for both
defconfig (may) and tinyconfig (must) require more options to make boot
and print work for nolibc-test.
         
    defconfig ------\
                     \
                      \
                      EXTCONFIG ----> a working .config for nolibc-test
                      /
                     /
    tinyconfig------/

Using NOLIBC_TEST_CONFIG is ok, but with this name, do we still only put
the 'additional' options there? or we simply use EXTRA_CONFIG instead?

    # extra kernel config files under configs/, include common + architecture specific
    EXTRA_CONFIG       = common.config $(ARCH).config

>From the name, NOLIBC_TEST_CONFIG should be a standalone config file to
include all necessary options? but as Willy suggested, he want to
reserve defconfig as an optional target, and tinyconfig does may be more
easier to fail than defconfig, if only consider tinyconfig, it is ok for
us to put all of the .config generated from tinyconfig + extra config to
NOLIBC_TEST_CONFIG.

   NOLIBC_TEST_CONFIG = tinyconfig + common.config + $(ARCH).config

But it may be harder to maintain a standalone config than an additional
config file.

Do you mean rename 'defconfig' to 'nolibctestconfig'? or something
nolibc-test-config:

    nolibc-test-config:
	$(Q)$(MAKE) -C $(srctree) ARCH=$(ARCH) CC=$(CC) CROSS_COMPILE=$(CROSS_COMPILE) mrproper $(DEFCONFIG) prepare
	$(Q)$(srctree)/scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh -O "$(srctree)" -m "$(srctree)/.config" $(foreach c,$(EXTRA_CONFIG),$(wildcard $(CURDIR)/configs/$c))
	$(Q)$(MAKE) -C $(srctree) ARCH=$(ARCH) CC=$(CC) CROSS_COMPILE=$(CROSS_COMPILE) KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG="$(srctree)/.config" allnoconfig

It looks too long ;-)

Currently, we use 'defconfig' by default and we use 'make defconfig
DEFCONFIG=tinyconfig' to switch to tinyconfig, in the next weeks, when
all of the nolibc supported architectures have tinyconfig support, it is
able to switch 'tinyconfig' as the default config target.

    PHONY += $(KERNEL_CONFIG)
    $(KERNEL_CONFIG):
    	$(Q)if [ ! -f "$(KERNEL_CONFIG)" ]; then $(MAKE) --no-print-directory defconfig DEFCONFIG=tinyconfig; fi

    kernel: $(KERNEL_CONFIG)
    	$(Q)$(MAKE) --no-print-directory initramfs
    	$(Q)$(MAKE_KERNEL) $(IMAGE_NAME) CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=$(CURDIR)/initramfs

Welcome more discussion.

Thanks,
