actually, not that much. Your reduced testcase is missing a MODULES
symbol to have modules enabled and have them show up in the final
`.config'. If you add:

config MODULES
  boolean
  default y

then you end up with CONFIG_A=m in the `.config'.

Now, I may have missed something.

Do you have a situation where a MODULES symbol is present, enabled,
but CONFIG_A=y still appear from CONFIG_A=m in the defconfig ?
