Seems there are brand-new requirements for kernel builds. The toolchain determines
the headers used, not the native kernel (which, FWIW, is 3.19). You might want
to document somewhere that "allmodconfig" and possibly "allyesconfig" now only
builds if the toolchain is based on 3.17+ kernel headers.

I think I'll just drop those allmodconfig builds instead, or find a means to drop
the samples/kdbus builds. Sorry, my time is limited. Building toolchains costs a
lot of time, which I simply don't have. Keep in mind that I am doing all this on
my own spare time. You are putting a lot of burden on people doing test builds.
