JFYI, when comparing v3.7-rc5 to v3.7-rc4[3], the summaries are:

These reports would be more useful if the actual .config were provided, =20

I doubt this particular one is a regression; it looks like the =20
dependencies have always been too weak (patch sent) and you're just =20
comparing different randomly-generated configs.

It's been over 3 years since powerpc-allyesconfig built (it's just too =20
big for the relocation model the kernel uses) -- how is this a =20

This can be obtained from the kissb build system.

Yeah, regressions in randconfigs can be misleading.
Still, they're build failures.
have always been too weak (patch sent) and you're just comparing different
randomly-generated configs.
Thanks for your patch!

It's a regression because it didn't complain about ".mcount" in the
previous run.
But I'll start stripping them from the rc-incremental reports.
