[PROBLEM linux-next] Error in "make olddefconfig" and "make menuconfig"

[PROBLEM linux-next] Error in "make olddefconfig" and "make menuconfig"

[Mirsad Todorovac]

Hi, Mr. Bagas,

While bisecting a problem in linux-next tree, I came across the problem:

marvin@defiant:~/linux/kernel/linux-next$ git describe
v6.7-rc5-2761-gefc11f34e25f
marvin@defiant:~/linux/kernel/linux-next$ make olddefconfig
make[2]: *** No targets.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [/home/marvin/linux/kernel/linux-next/Makefile:621: scripts_basic] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:234: __sub-make] Error 2
marvin@defiant:~/linux/kernel/linux-next$ make menuconfig
make[2]: *** No targets.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [/home/marvin/linux/kernel/linux-next/Makefile:621: scripts_basic] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:234: __sub-make] Error 2
marvin@defiant:~/linux/kernel/linux-next$ 

Now, this occurred for the first time, and I don't know how to bail out.

I recall in past couple of years you have some insightful advice.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Mirsad Todorovac

P.S.

If this can help, I thought that the debug info the Makefile might be useful, but I am
unable to see what goes wrong ...

Hope this helps.

I checked out v6.7-rc5-2761-gefc11f34e25f
but 'make olddefconfig' worked fine with me.


If this issue occurs only during 'git bisect',
I need full steps to reproduce it because I do not
know what you did before v6.7-rc5-2761-gefc11f34e25f.


  $ git checkout <some commit>
  $ [ do something ]
  $ git v6.7-rc5-2761-gefc11f34e25f
  $ make olddefconfig


If I am able to reproduce the issue that way,
maybe I can have more insight.

Just to report that fresh cloning eliminated the error.
