What I want to achieve is to make the build a bit more quiet. And I prefer it
to not do things for no good reason.
But it turns out I can get what I want if we remove the call of "make
oldnoconfig" during %prep. There really is no need to do that for all config
files in configs/, as only one of those files will be used for the build. And
the file that actually will be used during %build will go through "make
oldnoconfig". So why bother doing that earlier during %prep?
The reason it's done during prep for all config files is so that
maintainers can do a basic "fedpkg prep" to make sure they haven't
broken anything before pushing it. I do this numerous times a day when
working on kernel stuff.
