I'm not entirely sure all the ways that $(Q) is used (it looks like it
just gets set to @), but if i run 'KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 make
kselftest-merge' I do see the find command printed before running:

    find ./tools/testing/selftests -name config | \
          xargs ./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh -m ./.config

I noticed find used inconsistently (sometimes with @, sometimes with
$(Q), sometimes with neither), so I picked the usage that seemed most
correct to me.
