I think someone (Jiri Kosina?) proposed shelling out to set Kconfig
values. I don't think any patches were ever submitted. But I guess
something along those lines would be needed to adopt the .config to the
toolchain at hand. As long as we don't do anything funny once we've
generated the .config file that might just work.

Yes, I know, the devil hides in the details.

Thanks,
