Hi all,

I recently build linux next kernel in IBM Power7 platform, use default
config file copy from /boot/config-3.6.10-4.fc18.ppc64p7

[root@cena01 linux-next]# uname -a
Linux cena01.austin.ibm.com 3.15.0-rc1+ #47 SMP Thu Apr 24 20:59:46 CDT
2014 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux

[root@cena01 linux-next]# cat /etc/issue
Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
Kernel \r on an \m (\l)

and build error log below:

[root@cena01 linux-next]# make -j60

I use git bisect to find out the possible commits to lead this problem:
7e1c04779efd51154baf652e653ceb24ce68939b kbuild: Use relative path for
$(objtree)
890676c65d699db3ad82e7dddd0cf8fb449031af kbuild: Use relative path when
building in the source tree
9da0763bdd82572be243fcf5161734f11568960f kbuild: Use relative path when
building in a subdir of the source tree
Thanks for the report, I'll have a look. If I do not come up with a
solution soon, I'll revert the series.
