Sometimes it's slow, sometimes it's fast...

Yes, but given you can't actually boot it, it usually receives even less care
than allmodconfig.

Plus you have to band-aid various trivia, like
  - NR_IRQS being zero,
  - No CPU or platform code included, causing link errors (e.g. head.o is
    not built on m68k),
  - ...

Furthermore, allnoconfig disables CONFIG_MMU on architectures that support
nommu, which is less interesting, and thus need a KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=
trick (I'd love to have just "make CONFIG_MMU=y allnoconfig" instead).

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
