Kbuild contains the following:

include include/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm
header-y += cachectl.h

And if you look up the content of "include/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm"
you will realize that this is a list of all the "always to be exported headers"
from any arch - so the list is consolidated in asm-generic.

The fix for m68k is to eiter:
1) unify unistd.h so we get rid of the _no.h and _mm.h variants
2) or add the _no.h and _mm.h files to Kbuild.

I recall that someone already did 1) and this is pending in m68k.git.
You could look in -next - I think it is fixed there.
