Could you send the v6.15-rc1 config that has this missing dependency?

Because if I put the config you sent through 'make oldconfig' and 
accept all default suggestions, the X86_REQUIRED_FEATURE_FPU dependency 
is present:

 starship:~/tip> grep _FPU .config
 CONFIG_X86_REQUIRED_FEATURE_FPU=y
 CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT=y
 CONFIG_X86_DEBUG_FPU=y
 # CONFIG_TEST_FPU is not set

... and the build succeeds:

    OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/setup.bin
    BUILD   arch/x86/boot/bzImage
  Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#4)

Ie. I cannot reproduce the build failure with the config you provided.

Thanks,
