Good catch. I will change scripts/gen_kheaders.sh > When building a full kernel the build fails like this: > LD vmlinux.o > aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: cannot find include/lib.a: No such file or directory > make[1]: *** [/home/sam/kernel/linux-kbuild.git/Makefile:1054: vmlinux] Error > 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory > '/home/sam/kernel/linux-kbuild.git/.build/arm64-allyesconfig' > make: *** [Makefile:179: sub-make] Error 2 My bad - I built only include/, without testing full build.

Thanks.

I have not looked at this closely yet. usr/include/Makefile tests UAPI headers crafted by scripts/headers_install.sh Testing UAPI headers in their raw form makes sense, I think. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
