You should be able to work around this issue by disabling BUILD_DOCSRC.


The issues from the log (there are probably more):

Documentation/misc-devices/mei/mei-amt-version.c:76:27: fatal error: bits/wordsize.h: No such file or directory
Documentation/networking/timestamping/hwtstamp_config.c:114:18: error: ‘caddr_t’ undeclared (first use in this function)
Documentation/networking/timestamping/timestamping.c:296:18: error: ‘caddr_t’ undeclared (first use in this function)

The second and third one can be solved by replacing caddr_t by (void *).
The first one can probably be solved by deleting the #include <bits/wordsize.h> line.

Giving this to the musl people. Re-assign it if it is not your bug.

DOCSRC is full of type errors like that and I've hit a few in uclibc.  Is there any other issues with the kernel source proper?

Once there was a problem with the arm build, introduced in commit
8512287a8165592466cb9cb347ba94892e9c56a5 (in 4.0-rc6) and fixed in commit
13ee9fdba96577eb1583dcd7b15767ef623fae12 (in 4.2-rc1, CCed to stable).

That's the only thing I am aware.

Comment 7 Michael 'veremitz' Everitt 2019-10-24 14:15:42 UTC

Is this still a thing?

I'm sure I've built kernels on musl non-hardened systems without issue?
