Hmmm I'm not sure about that one, I pretty much remember seeing failing arm64 builds when mrproper and prepare were missing. I would argue that someone starting "make defconfig" does expect the config to be dropped, hence mrproper to be called as well. What specific issue did you face with it ? Maybe we can restrict it to only a few cases ? Willy
