OK -- I checked some more. At the end of the Makefile was a special rule
for "scripts/split-include":
----
scripts/split-include: scripts/split-include.c
$(HOSTCC) $(HOSTCFLAGS) -o scripts/split-include scripts/split-include.c
----
So this doesn't use the standard builtin .c.o rule so the include path
doesn't get "HPATH" $(TOPDIR)/include included in the CC rule:
CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH)
***************************************************************************
I checked where I had built some kernels in the past, but those kernels
didn't have a split-include in the scripts directory.
I tried the process on another 6.2 2.2.16 machine without doing the
VPN Masquerade patches -- just using standard config. Got the same error
my friend got.
Obviously I'm blind to something obvious. Any help out there?
