Yeah - I wanted your series to kick-start the ambitious project
of splitting up the mega-monolithic sched.h include file -
without anyone noticing. Now my plan is busted.
Many good people scared away from this daunting project in the
past one or two decades, but they were chicken!

As long as a few common config combinations work fine I can help
out with tracking down weird config failures and can also fix
them - in fact I almost managed to fix your previous series when
I noticed that include/sched/ is still included in sched.h. (the
price I paid for not looking closely enough before applying the
patches.)
