Indeed, but the configuration file is already available at this point.
It may be either a full .config, or a minimal defconfig, but in both
cases it doesn't matter. See below.

It does, as explained in the commit log: since LZO is not the default
compression, if it is chosen by the user in its kernel configuration,
it will also appear in minimal defconfigs.
