Even if I activate those two configurations, the compiler still
tells me it is unused:

  $ grep -E "CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS|CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION" .config
  CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y
  CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS=y

  $ make W=2 arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.o
  <...>
  arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c:7: warning: macro "COMPILE_OFFSETS" is not used [-Wunused-macros]
