That's the number of allmodconfig modules found.

mcgrof@fulton ~/linux (git::sysctl-next)$ find ./ -name \*.ko| head -2
./arch/x86/crypto/twofish-x86_64.ko
./arch/x86/crypto/serpent-avx2.ko
mcgrof@fulton ~/linux (git::sysctl-next)$ find ./ -name \*.ko| head -2 |
wc -l
2
mcgrof@fulton ~/linux (git::sysctl-next)$ find ./ -name \*.ko| head -2 |
wc -c
70

wc -c would give a lot more. wc -l gives me the module count.

Not sure ? But regardless the *.text* lookup is what we care for though
which was later.
