Several possibilities exists: 1) Silently ignore SELECT SYMBOL when SYMBOL is undefined 2) Warn - as we do today 3) Error out as you suggest
Option 1) is preferable for 'make oldconfig' simply because target group here do not care. But it would be nice to know when one do a typing error in SELECT. So one *config target should continue to warn about it.
