We moved to 4.0 in 5f99665ee8f4 ("kbuild: raise the minimum GNU Make requirement to 4.0") -- or do you mean something else / am I missing something? Thanks! Cheers, Miguel

Before this patch, using 'make --always-make' would always result in the error message about the missing .config being displayed.
