Arve, can you please try the attached patch and check if this
fixes the issue you see.
At least I confirmed that it fixed the minimal test-case I used.
Note: the patch chenges how we interpret a minimal config,
it does not change the content of a minimal config.
Unfortunately the bug I had discovered is another bug.
If I do:
make ARCH=avr32 atngw100_defconfig
make ARCH=avr32 savedefconfig
cp defconfig arch/avr32/configs/atngw100_defconfig
make ARCH=avr32 atngw100_defconfig
diff -u .config .config.old
then the diff shows an unexpected difference.
I will continue of that issue.
This is mainly to inform you that we have at least one
additional issue with "savedefconfig".
Sam

Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: fix tristate choice with minimal config
If a minimal config did not specify the value
of all choice values, the resulting configuration
could have wrong values.
Consider following example:
config M
def_bool y
option modules
choice
prompt "choice list"
config A
tristate "a"
config B
tristate "b"
endchoice
With a defconfig like this:
CONFIG_M=y
CONFIG_A=y
The resulting configuration would have
CONFIG_A=m
which was unexpected.
The problem was not not all choice values were set and thus
kconfig calculated a wrong value.
The fix is to set all choice values when we
read a defconfig files.
conf_set_all_new_symbols() is refactored such that
random choice values are now handled by a dedicated function.
And new choice values are set by set_all_choice_values().
This was not the minimal fix, but the fix that resulted
in the most readable code.
