If the standard that other architectures are using is to put their

tree to be included when building other architectures?
drivers/crypto/ currently contains drivers for x86_32 and s390 (the
latter by indirection, which is what is causing you this
grief/problem/whatever), but it certainly looks like it could be a
home for crypto drivers on any arch.

this all sounds vaguely familiar. oh, wait ...

I just tried several things to "fix" it, but none of them worked.

I wouldn't mind making missing files in *config be non-fatal, i.e.,
just print a warning message, but I doubt that the maintainer(s)
would accept that.
