First problem: I cannot compile the kernel with my version of compiler
Second problem: when I disable the feature - it cannot take effect, because the parse-time error happens before `syncconfig`

The patch which you mentioned fixes the second problem: now I can disable CONFIG_RETPOLINE. But, the first problem is still here: with defconfig and gcc v6.4.0, kernel doesn't build, with this message:
~~~~ $ make scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig You are building kernel with non-retpoline compiler. Please update your compiler. make: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:311: checkbin] Error 1 ~~~~
I don't think that this is a proper behavior. I suggest to allow compilation
