Hi Randy,
And to explain more specifically what's happening:

That makes sense: a feature that requires a specific compiler version was chosen, so you get a warning and a failed build. (The first warning was during the .config parsing pass, the second warning was during the binary build pass.)

This is the same issue: the prior .config was still there with STRONG set, but after finishing the new .config parsing pass, everything is happy for the binary build pass. And, I assume, the r8737 didn't fail to build.
The trouble seems to be how kbuild handle .config changes, but I was never able to sort it out.
