Sounds good.
Question is how one would set such a flag. The code in scripts/kconfig/conf.c
doesn't really set COMPILE_TEST in conjunction with randconfig; that is
just as random as all other configuration flags. Would something like
the patch below be acceptable ?
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: Introduce RANDCONFIG
"make randconfig" is intended to be used to generate random valid
configurations. It is supposed to verify if configuration dependencies
are valid and compile. It is not supposed to be used as replacement
for all{mod,yes}config.
However, that is not currently the case. "make randconfig" treats all
configurations randomly. This means that "COMPILE_TEST" will be enabled
randomly. This defeats the purpose of "make randconfig"
To solve the problem, introduce a RANDCONFIG configuration option
and set it for all "randconfig" configurations. Disable COMPILE_TEST
whenever RANDCONFIG is enabled.
