This has an unexpected side-effect of trying to load a kernel module and
I would rather not change 'make mkconfig' to do this. In addition, this
would require root privileges whereas the compilation should not add
such a requirement.

I'm more likely to just remove the 'make mkconfig' completely and add a
seaprate config.example (etc.) file that could be used as a template.
