Trying to build in-tree kernel modules without the rest of the kernel (with the
M=... make target) results in the build failing with "ld: cannot open linker
script file -o: No such file or directory"
Commands to reproduce (taken from a DKMS Makefile):
tar xaf $(LINUX_SOURCE_TAR) --strip-components=1 -C linux-source
cp /boot/config-$(KERNELRELEASE) linux-source/.config
cp /usr/src/linux-headers-$(KERNELRELEASE)/Module.symvers linux-
source/Module.symvers
$(MAKE) -C linux-source oldconfig
$(MAKE) -C linux-source prepare
$(MAKE) -C linux-source M=drivers/hwmon
This seems to be direct cause of a recent Debian patch:
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-
team/linux/-/blob/master/debian/patches/debian/kbuild-look-for-module.lds-
under-arch-directory-too.patch (commit
39a8b293ff1881bca11dae1831885dd30581d023)
The patch tries to make the linker only use a specific linker script
(module.lds) if it exists, but ends up preventing the linker script from being
built from source (module.lds.S), and thus ends up never existing.
