Sorry I didn't mean kbuild as in your build system, but kbuild as in
the kernel kbuild subsystem.

AFAICS, the Kconfig rules should forbid the situation in your
config file where GCM=y but AEAD=m because GCM selects AEAD.  So
the fact that it happened either means that there is something
that I am missing or that the kbuild subsystem is buggy.
