There's something in -ac tree:

  x CONFIG_IKCONFIG: x
  x x
  x This option enables the complete Linux kernel ".config" file x
  x contents, information on compiler used to build the kernel, x
  x kernel running when this kernel was built and kernel version x
  x from Makefile to be saved in kernel. It provides documentation x
  x of which kernel options are used in a running kernel or in an x
  x on-disk kernel. This information can be extracted from the kernel x
  x image file with the script scripts/extract-ikconfig and used as x
  x input to rebuild the current kernel or to build another kernel. x
  x It can also be extracted from a running kernel by reading x
  x /proc/ikconfig/config and /proc/ikconfig/built_with, if enabled. x
  x /proc/ikconfig/config will list the configuration that was used x
  x to build the kernel and /proc/ikconfig/built_with will list x
  x information on the compiler and host machine that was used to x
  x build the kernel. x
