That's weird.

We have this:

	config PREEMPT
		bool
		select PREEMPT_COUNT

	config PREEMPT_COUNT
		bool

Then I run "make ARCH=m32r defconfig" that has CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
but it doesn't select PREEMPT_COUNT and happily runs to break few
times after.

Even running make ARCH=m32r oldconfig on the defconfig doesn't fix up
the issue.

I thought "select" was an unconditional action. What am I missing?

I'm adding in Cc more people who know better kconfig/kbuild than me.
Every time I finally consider I know well the Kconfig language, I quickly
get caught up by the fate...
