Yeah, then those tests would be run only once, at kconfig time. I guess we
still run some of them many times, due to the use of recursive make?

Note that these will end up in your .config --- which is not necesarily a bad
thing --- but it does mean that if e.g. you sent me your .config,
several options
may change when I try to use it.
