So I have this simple (quick-n-dirty) patch, that seem to be doing
the trick. Just to show the idea.

Running `make listunknown` produces the following (on a hand-crafted
.config):

.config:6:warning: unknown symbol: CONFIG_DISABLE_BUGS
.config:7:warning: unknown symbol: CONFIG_COMPILE_GOOD_CODE_ONLY
make[2]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:77: listunknown] Error 1
