sys-kernel/hardened-sources-3.12.6-r3 fails to build the compiler plugins (in the very beginning) the error being that the plugin source files cannot be found. With <=sys-kernel/hardened-sources-3.12.6-r2 there is no such problem. I use a separate $KBUILD_OUTPUT directory for building, so I suppose there was some restructuring not honouring that the current directory can differ from $KERNEL_DIR.
Hi Martin, can you get my your kconfig file so I can reproduce.
Created attachment 367448 [details] kconfig With hardened-sources-3.12.6-r4 the compilation problem has vanished (but the semaphore problem of bug 497140 has occured). I upload the .config file anyway. (I just realize that I forgot to mention that I always use overlayfs patches, but I guess this should not be related with these two bugs.) In case it plays a role: I am using gcc-4.8.2, binutils-2.23.2 [bfd linker], glibc-2.17 (the latter was perhaps glibc-2.16.0 when I tested last time.)
