Only for the modular case. What about builtin, e.g. for nfsroot?

Or is it better to not build in NFS_V4 support in that case?

config NFS_V4

config NFSD_V4
          If unsure, say N.

So that's why my defconfig has NFS_V4 but not NFSD_V4.

It should be possible now to compile in NFSv3 support (and/or NFSv2),
while keeping NFSv4 a module. That will usually result in
CONFIG_SUNRPC_GSS=m...

Indeed. Making NFS_V4 modular saves 102 KiB, i.e. 2.5% of a typical
almost-4-MiB kernel image!

Of course, if your defconfig doesn't have module support then, yes, your
only option to avoid compiling in rpcsec_gss is to not select NFSv4 at
all.

It has. But it needs everything to boot (block, net, nfs) as built-in.
