ubifs doess not have 'empty_aops' symbol and does not use such symbol. I
do not understand how you got that build issue, but this must be
something to do with your local setup.

Also:

[dedekind@eru linux-next (master)]$ grep -r 'empty_aops' *
fs/nilfs2/page.c:       static const struct address_space_operations empty_aops;
fs/nilfs2/page.c:       mapping->a_ops = &empty_aops;
fs/inode.c:     static const struct address_space_operations empty_aops;
fs/inode.c:     mapping->a_ops = &empty_aops;

in the current linux-next.
