How about implementing something in scripts/kconfig/Makefile?

merge_config collects config fragments into 'configfiles'

I was thinking of a similar thing.


If KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG is 1,
scripts/kconfig/Makefile searches
'./', '$srctree/', 'arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/', 'kernel/configs/'
and sets the found file in it,

If KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG already contains a file name, it is used as-is.

scripts/kconfig/conf.c will be simplified.

OK, then your kernel/configs/allrandom.config approach will be useful.
