No, defconfig builds every bb feature that's expected to work.  Yesconfig 
enables everything except cross-compiling, and that should at least build.

You mean like doing a static build while at the same time building and linking 
against the busybox shared library, plus enabling all debugging features?  
Which yesconfig currently already does?

Disable enough to get a "sane" configuration, and you have defconfig.

Try "make defconfig".
