This isn't about introducing "CONFIG_BUG=n" - this is about making a
kernel with CONFIG_BUG=n build without producing tonnes and tonnes of
warnings, as it does today.  It makes building randconfig pretty
useless to find what could be more important warnings.

For example, this is a small extract from one such build log that
randconfig decided to set CONFIG_BUG to n:
