Hi Asuna!
I'm under the impression that the `!RUST ||` guard here doesn't
actually prevent the `$(bindgen-backend-option,...)` call from being
executed. `$(...)` shell expansions should happen during the textual
substitution phase, before symbol dependency evaluation occurs, check
documentation at kconfig-macro-language.rst lines 228-229.
I did this test:
$ cat /tmp/fake_bindgen
#!/bin/bash
echo "[BINDGEN INVOKED] $(date '+%H:%M:%S') args: $@" >> /tmp/bindgen_calls.log
# Call real bindgen
exec /home/charmitro/.cargo/bin/bindgen "$@"
$ make ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-linux-gnu- BINDGEN=/tmp/fake_bindgen defconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
...
*** Default configuration is based on 'defconfig'
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ linux git:(master) rg CONFIG_RUST .config
...

So, CONFIG_RUST not set, yet bindgen was invoked. Not sure if that is
intentional though.
