I noticed with the recent patch below:
commit 62089b804895e845f82e132ea9d46a1fc53ed5a7
Author: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
Date: Wed Jan 21 15:29:15 2026 -0700
kbuild: rpm-pkg: Generate debuginfo package manually
that all of our test builds were failing to build kernel RPMs for
6.19-rc8 and later (see e.g.
http://smb311-linux-testing.southcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com/#/builders/1/builds/99/steps/9/logs/stdio).
See below:

This is building kernel rpms on a RHEL9.7 system to be copied over to
our Fedora test VMs. The kernel build works fine but the rpm packaging
now fails. Works fine for 6.19-rc7 (or 6.19-rc8 with this commit
reverted) but fails on 6.19-rc8.
Any idea how to fix this build regression.

Sorry for the breakage :(
Can you provide me with the .config? I want to see if I can reproduce
this locally.

I wonder if we are relying on something in a newer rpm version that is
not available on an older version that is present in RHEL.

Opting out of the debuginfo package with RPM_OPTS='--without debuginfo'
would be a quick solution I think but obviously I would like to develop
a more comprehensive fix.

Ooookay, after much gnashing of teeth investigating different
environments and such, it looks like my change implicitly relies on some
improvements to debuginfo package generation that are in rpm 4.20 or
newer (Fedora 41 or newer), which is why I have not seen any issues up
until this point. I am not entirely sure why yet though but I wanted to
provide a small update that I am still looking into this. I plan to send
the main 7.0 Kbuild pull request then I should be able to focus more
intently on this.
Cheers,
Nathan
