Yes, please do so.


Kconfig evaluates $(CC) capabilities, and
hides CONFIG options it cannot support.


In contrast, we do not do that for $(HOSTCC)
capabilities because it is just a matter of some
missing packages.


For example, if you enable CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
and fail to build scripts/extrace-cert.c
due to missing <openssl/bio.h>,
you need to install the openssl dev package.

It is the same pattern.
