Can you double-check that this patch really fixes your issue and that
without this patch it fails again? Because 1) I can't reproduce this
behaviour and I also don't see how it could f, 2) your problem is a
include/config file somehow created in the source tree, but you patch
the creation of include/linux. And if there really needs to be a fix,
the same should be applied to the identical block above.

thanks,
Michal
