From 3917875096976f04a157085c3560a42e4898e1ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2021 18:27:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: Abort build if SUBDIRS used Forwarded: not-needed Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/987575 DKMS and module-assistant both build OOT modules as root. If they build an old OOT module that still use SUBDIRS this causes Kbuild to try building a full kernel, which obviously fails but not before deleting files from the installed headers package. To avoid such mishaps, detect this situation and abort the build. The error message is based on that used in commit 0126be38d988 "kbuild: announce removal of SUBDIRS if used".
