It's a config option is EMBEDDED=y:
config BUG
bool "BUG() support" if EMBEDDED
default y

Disabling this option eliminates support for BUG and WARN, reducing

numerous fatal conditions. You should only consider disabling this
option for embedded systems with no facilities for reporting errors.
Just say Y.
