I think a build time regression should be fixed. We cannot assume users
will not use this configuration (as Jan pointed out in IRC). So for 4.17:

Release-acked-by: Henry Wang <Henry.Wang@xxxxxxx>

But if OSSTest is exploded after merging this patch, I would like to request
a revert since we don't have too much time left for the due date. Hopefully
everyone is fine with that.

Kind regards,
Henry
