Here is what  do.

make allmodconfig
make -j8 drivers/watchdog/ixp4xx_wdt.o

And I get:
   DESCEND objtool
   CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
   CC      drivers/watchdog/ixp4xx_wdt.o
drivers/watchdog/ixp4xx_wdt.c: In function ‘ixp4xx_wdt_probe’:

I do agree with you that:

    - Kconfig looks fine
config IXP4XX_WATCHDOG
	tristate "IXP4xx Watchdog"
	depends on ARCH_IXP4XX

   - Makefile looks fine
obj-$(CONFIG_IXP4XX_WATCHDOG) += ixp4xx_wdt.o

   - .config looks fine
IXP4XX_WATCHDOG is NOT defined

   - make drivers/watchdog/ looks fine
No error and ixp4xx_wdt.o is NOT built.


However, in the past (if I recollect correctly :) ), a "make 
<something_that depends_on_a_config_variable_that_is_not_defined>" 
returned an error stating that no rule existed to build the specified 
target.

I sometimes needed to tweak the Kconfig files to force some compilation 
when I didn't have the right tool chain or configuration.
It was maybe not the best practice, but it worked most of the time.


Now, with the example above, such a compilation attempt is possible. It 
is maybe normal (because of a change somewhere in the way the kernel is 
built, because of an updated toolchain on my machine, ...)
This is just fine for me, but looked really surprising.

That is why I first thought that something was missing in a Kconfig file.


So my comments are just a surprise to me to something that seems not to 
behave the same as before.

As far a just a 'make' works as expected, I won't dig further if this 
behavior is expected or not.
It should be a corner case anyway, and for my own use, I would even call 
it a feature :) (i.e. it saves me some Kconfig modification to test things)
