How does oldconfig know which one "wins" when they're both set in the .config? I'm not running menuconfig, I have a script that is appending more symbols to the .config file, which works fine for normal symbols (ones that are commented out when they're not set), and I'm starting with a "make allnoconfig" that I then append extra symbols to and run make oldconfig to resolve dependencies... Trying to set up something with make config and expect would be more brittle and version specific than just snapshotting a .config file in the first place, and would defeat the purpose anyway. The point is, I wanted my build script to be self-documenting about what symbols it needed. The ones it appends are the ones it needs, and the ones you'd have to switch on by hand if you did a make allnoconfig followed by make menuconfig yourself.. See what I'm getting at? If you're saying that there's a hard rule that any symbol that's set by make allnoconfig will automatically lose to any other symbol that isn't if both are set in the config and oldconfig has to resolve an inconsistent state, I suppose I can live with that. I'm a bit uncomfortable relying on that unless it's documented somewhere...
