Interesting, I haven't seen that here. What make version are you using?
I just built qemu_arm_versatile_defconfig with make 3.81 without any
problems. Could you post your config, please?

I think we can simply replace one of the '=' with a := to break the
loop, but would like to be able to reproduce it first.

As far as I can see those should be equivalent as LINUX_VERSION is:

default "custom" if BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_TARBALL
