Perhaps some changes at the Kbuild source code or scripts badly affected it.

Agreed.

Maybe the solution would be something more complex like 
(for drivers/media/usb/gspca/zc3xx.c):

#if (IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_INPUT)) || (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_INPUT) && !IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_USB_GSPCA_ZC3XX))

Probably the best would be to write another macro that would evaluate
like the above.
