</span>Maybe some context is in order for how I build the kernel. I'm using a<br>
custom kernel recipe which inherits from linux-yocto.inc. My kernel<br>
tree contains a defconfig which is passed to OE in my kernel recipe<br>
using KBUILD_DEFCONFIG and KCONFIG_MODE="--alldefconfig".<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>And that would be the difference, which is what I was looking for.

I have no configuration fragments.<br>
<br>
As expected I need the merge_configs script to automatically fill in any<br>
missing CONFIG symbols before building the kernel and this is where it<br>
fails because the sysroot is poisoned since 2014.<br>
