The introduction of "make *.config" as a shorthand for merging configuration files unfortunately introduced some build warnings that we see in every single run of the various build bots testing tinyconfig:
.config:966:warning: override: NOHIGHMEM changes choice state .config:965:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state .config:963:warning: override: KERNEL_XZ changes choice state .config:962:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state .config:933:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state .config:930:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state .config:870:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state .config:868:warning: override: KERNEL_XZ changes choice state .config:867:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state
This changes the behavior for tinyconfig again, so we call the special allnoconfig target directly, with the fragment as the KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG file so it gets merged into the configuration. The disadvantage of this approach is that we cannot pass another KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG on the command line, that would again have to be done using the mergeconfig script afterwards.

Thanks for fixing this. Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett josh@joshtriplett.org
As another possibility, which would preserve the ability to use KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, what about adding a parameter to mergeconfig to disable this warning? I've seen many other uses of mergeconfig in production systems that have the same problem.
