Subject: weird build issue

Hi,

I'm running into a really weird build issue when building 4.6-rc1 for ARC
(although this doesn't seem to be version related)

I have 2 source trees and I see a build error in only one with exact same everything.

~/arc/k.org>make mrproper
~/arc/k.org>make ARCH=arc axs103_smp_defconfig O=tmp
~/arc/k.org>cd tmp
~/arc/k.org>make ARCH=arc

The issue is rules for asm-generic headers from Kbuild not triggering.

On a different source folder, with exact same kernel version checked out, and a
pristine build folder, same instructions as above and I see the headers generated
ahead of bound.s compilation, eliding the error. I'm sure it is something stupid
at my end....
