Subject: Build failures due to commit ea4054a2384 (handle huge number of
 modules)

Hi all,

I started seeing build failures such as the following in the last week or so.

make[2]: [__modpost] Error 1

followed by lots of messages such as

gcc: error: arch/x86/crypto/ablk_helper.mod.c: No such file or directory
gcc: fatal error: no input files

(at least if I run make -i)

After reverting commit ea4054a238 (modpost: handle huge numbers of modules)
everything is fine.

This happens with multiple gcc versions and target platforms (arm, x86_64,
i386, powerpc). Host kernel version is 3.8.10, system is Ubuntu 12.10.

Does anyone else see this problem ? Any idea what might be wrong ?

Thanks,
Guenter
