If you config CONFIG_UML_NET_VDE and don't have the vde stuff
available, something's gotta break.  I understand the niceness of
randconfig always working, but this has to fail somehow.

The only way out that I can see is make CONFIG_UML_NET_VDE invisible
to randconfig if vde isn't installed - i.e. if randconfig doesn't
enable stuff that depends on BROKEN, possibly generate a Kconfig which
sniffs the environment and adds that dependency.

OTOH, this makes things magically disappear, whereas the build failure
you encountered makes it immediately obvious what needs to happen in
order to fix the problem.
