Since this commit:
'commit 9b9a3f20cbe0 ("kbuild: split final module linking out into 
Makefile.modfinal")'
at least one out-of-tree external kernel module build fails
during the modfinal make phase because Makefile.modfinal does
not include the ccflags-y variable from the exernal module's Kbuild.
ccflags-y is passed only for compiling C files in that directory.

It is not used for compiling *.mod.c
This is true for both in-kernel and external modules.

So, ccflags-y is not a good choice
for passing such flags that should be globally effective.


Maybe, KCFLAGS should work.


module:
        $(MAKE) KCFLAGS=...  M=$(PWD) -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build modules


Thanks,

I'll see if I can get that to work.

Make sure to include the external kernel module's Kbuild so that the
necessary command line flags from the external module are set.
