Tracking dependency loop in kernel/kconfig
I'd like to track a dependency loop in the linux kernel kconfig setup.
When compiling with gcc-6.3 I can do the following without no issues:
$ make ARCH=powerpc custom_defconfig
$ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu-
However now if I try again with a gcc-8.2 release, it seems something new get's triggered. And instead I get:
$ make ARCH=powerpc custom_defconfig
$ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu-
GEN Makefile
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* General architecture-dependent options
*
OProfile system profiling (OPROFILE) [M/n/y/?] m
Kprobes (KPROBES) [Y/n/?] y
Optimize very unlikely/likely branches (JUMP_LABEL) [N/y/?] n
Stack Protector buffer overflow detection (STACKPROTECTOR) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
I have of course verified my custom_defconfig is minimal (no diff against a savedefconfig run). So it seems I am triggering some kind of loop in the kconfig option. How do I track them, in order to report something accurate back to the kernel maintainers ?

Turns out there was not dependency loop whatsoever, it was just a user error, the correct steps are to use the same compiler in the configuration and the build, eg:
$ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- custom_defconfig
$ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu-
