I tried to reproduce it with no luck :-(

my steps:
mkdir ../andi
cp <a .config from somewhere> ../andi
cd ../andi
vi .config
  < removed all security options to fore a config run >
make -C ../kfixes.git O=$PWD 

# worked as expected

rm -rf include/config/*
vi .config
  < removed all security options to fore a config run >
make -C ../kfixes.git O=$PWD

# worked as expected

If this is reproducealbe then please try to post the output of
a run with V=1.
