[gentoo-user] make broken on kernel 5.4.66-gentoo kernel

[Walter Dnes]

  I made a few tweaks to the kernel config and tried to rebuild... and
the build died.  I restored the original .config from /proc/config.gz
and tried again.  Same failure.  I'm in the "linux" subdirectory...

[d531][root][/usr/src/linux] make
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  DESCEND  objtool
make[4]: *** No rule to make target '/usr/include/bits/sys_errlist.h', needed by '/usr/src/linux-5.4.66-gentoo/tools/objtool/fixdep.o'.  Stop.
make[3]: *** [Makefile:43: /usr/src/linux-5.4.66-gentoo/tools/objtool/fixdep-in.o] Error 2
make[2]: *** [/usr/src/linux-5.4.66-gentoo/tools/build/Makefile.include:5: fixdep] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile:67: objtool] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:1833: tools/objtool] Error 2

  Since the machine (older Intel Core2 64-bit with 3 gigs ram) is
running, the kernel obviously built successfully in the past.  Any
ideas?

Did you cleanup first?

run "make mrproper", the unpack your saved config then run "make oldconfig".

  Thank you; that was it.  The build is now humming along.
