Subject: 'kbuild' merge before 4.9-rc1 breaks build and boot

Hello Michal,

I waited some days for a fix - but obviously no one else has this 
problem so far ...

This merge

"Merge branch 'kbuild' of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild"

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=84d69848c97faab0c25aa2667b273404d2e2a64a

creates a bunch of warnings on my system and the built kernel does not 
boot (it complains about a missing root fs).

In the build process some .ko files are built fine and some don't:

When reverting the entire pull with

git diff 84d69848c97faab0c25aa2667b273404d2e2a64a 
d4d24d2d0a7ea3b62efd7336bfc2344e29b36bc5 | patch -p1

everything is ok again.

My system is a Debian Stretch.
gcc version 6.2.0 20161010 (Debian 6.2.0-6)

.config is attached - in the case I have an unusual one from your 
perspective.

Regards,
Oliver
