What I meant is that a cross-compilied KConfig would be built in such a way that transporting it to its native environment would allow it to be used as a complete development environment (assuming all the development related files were copied).  With this change, that doesn't work anymore.

It's a corner case, and if it breaks this otherwise fine RR, I'm not worried.  But it would be nice to have.
