OK, makes sense.

Indeed. I think this is an artifact of the way I initially wrote these changes
— I tried to eliminate some recordmcount variables by using objtool_dep in the
recordmcount portions of the Makefile. Then I realized the .config variable
combinations meant the most clearly-correct way to write it is still with
separate variables.
Will fix so it’s clear this is the only assignment.
