Bug#889809: [linux] Fails to compile external modules

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Source: linux
Version: 4.14.13-1~bpo9+1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: backports@vger.kernel.org

It seems like the current kernel in stretch backporst and in buster
has problems when compiling external modules against it. This worked
fine in the past. Also works fine when compiling against a manually
compiled 4.14 Linux kernel. So it seems to be a Debian specific
regression. Here are some examples

$ curl https://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/backports-2017-11-01.tar.xz|tar xvJ
$ make -C backports-2017-11-01 defconfig-ath9k
