Why would that controller influence the build?

I ran into this error twice, while building Fedora 21 kernel rpms for
v3.19-rc1 on my outdated ThinkPad X41 (which uses i915, for what it's
worth). The error made very little sense to me. Especially since it
didn't happen when building in the local git repository.

So I basically, well, scrubbed the rpmbuild environment. And then the
the third attempt to build kernels rpm succeeded! I assumed a hardware
failure (see outdated above) and made a mental note to investigate that
one of these days.

But your report makes me think it's not my hardware. Could there be some
_random_ failure with this driver in the build? Very odd...

A theory based on Mark's message in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/8/602 :

My two failed builds somehow used previous version of class.h, that
didn't yet have commit 1f89b4756fb8 ("drm/gm204/disp: initial support")
applied. It's that commit which added the define for
GM204_DISP_CORE_CHANNEL_DMA.

Is that even possible? Perhaps rpmbuild has a surprising way to handle
symlinks? All very puzzling...

I did a git pull up to 3.19-rc1 separately on the 3 boxes and used the 
.config from 3.18.0 as the base of make oldconfig.

When the build failed I did "make mrproper" and used the .config from 
one of the other boxes, then from the other, all 3 .config gave the same 
error.

Successfully rebooted one of the boxes.
