Arend or Rafa=C5=82, would you be able to look at this build problem? Kbuild
found the build errors below, apparently a very old issue. It just
blames me now because I moved the driver to a new directory :)

Something like this maybe? Note I didn't test it with above config.

It is a very old issue. The thing is that the issue can not really occur
because we have this:

# common flags
subdir-ccflags-$(CONFIG_BRCMDBG)        += -DDEBUG

in drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/Makefile. So no clue what
happens in the "kbuild test robot" scenario.

Arend

I actually tried to reproduce this with kbuild bot's instructions and
was surprised to see that the build worked ok for me. So the issue is
not that simple.

Hi Kalle,

Here is the old email exchange we had about this [1]. In my opinion this
is a Kbuild issue that needs to be looked into.

Hi all,

Yes sorry, it's a false report related to how we do bisects.

As an optimization, the robot often does "partial builds" during bisects.
For example, when the error is found in

        drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/debug.c

It'll try

        make drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/debug.o

And verify the bisect result with

        make drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/

However in this case the whole dir is moved, so both logics failed to
give correct results. We'll check how to improve this. Sorry for the
confusions!

Heh, I had completely forgotten that we had discussed this before :)

Fengguang and the kbuild bot team, do you have any ideas why only the
bot is seeing this?

I guess the root cause is due to the robot's doing partial builds like
these

        make drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/debug.o
        make drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/

The solution I come about is to climb up to higher level dirs like 

        make drivers/net/wireless/

which is less likely to have Makefile tricks and still maintain fast
enough build tests.

Thanks,
