That warning might be seen - once per build - because allmodconfig and
allyesconfig enable both CONFIG_KASAN and CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST, right?

Do we expect that some people want to enable both KASAN and COMPILE_TEST
manually (ie, not as a result of allmodconfig or allyesconfig)? If so,
those people might now be in for some head-scratching if their compiler
lacks what's apparently needed to run kasan.

(Side note: in this case the compiler supports that minimal
configuration, doesn't it? So shouldn't the second warning end in
Running with minimal configuration)

or something to that effect?)
