#55000 — Debian kernel 4.7.2-1 build on Sid and Jessie fails

Niltze, all!

Currently running Reiser4-patched kernel 4.7 built from pristine source upstream:

Linux mictlantecuhtli 4.7.0.tezcatlipoca #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 10 05:04:17 PDT 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux

On the other hand, I have experienced multiple issues building Debian'ized kernel 4.7.2-1 -- first building on Jessie modified for GCC 4.9;
 and then attempting build on Jessie-built GCC 5.3. And finally I attempted the build on Debian Unstable and it failed, as well.
Below are the offending sections -- which, by the way -- roughly correspond in all instances of Debian and GCC:

This happens if you invoke debian/rules directly and not through dpkg-
buildpackage.

debian/rules.real does:

    ifdef OVERRIDE_HOST_TYPE
      CROSS_COMPILE := $(OVERRIDE_HOST_TYPE)-
    else ifneq ($(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),$(DEB_HOST_ARCH))
      CROSS_COMPILE := $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)-
    else
      CROSS_COMPILE :=
    endif

So the assumption is that all those architecture variables, or none,
are defined.  dpkg-buildpackage does define them all.

However, debian/rules does:

    DEB_HOST_ARCH := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH)

and does not define any other architecture variables.

We should probably include /usr/share/dpkg/architecture.mk in
debian/rules instead.

As I began to learn how to build a kernel 'the debian way', I had been
using as reference:

https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official-vcs

Accordingly, up to this debian'ized kernel, the directive

fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch

worked well to generate both DEBs *and* UDEBs successfully.

Now, following your advice, Ben, I have replaced the above directive with

dpkg-buildpackage -d -b -us -uc -T binary-arch

(option -d is to override apparent flex dependency show-stopper --
but: "flex is already the newest version", according to apt).

*also* with or without including switches, -us -uc, the kernel build
procedure finishes -- apparently successfully as it generates the
*.deb files; notwithstanding, it fails to generate *.udeb files --
which are required to build Debian-Installer (d-i)

Rather, it can happen in some circumstances, but...

...variable definitions in debian/rules don't automatically propagate
to debian/rules.real, so this doesn't explain the failure.  And
although I have seen this failure myself, I can't reproduce it now.

I now think it should be included in debian/rules.real.  However, until
I have a way to reproduce the problem, I'm not going to attempt a fix.

I much appreciate your hints, Ben. The fault was mine. After a couple
of days of struggle, I modified debian/rules.real by inserting a
couple of extra directives and compared the generated debian/control
file output with previous ones - which provided me relevant insight to
correct my mistake and generate required *.udebs for d-i. Thank you
again, Ben.


Best Professional Regard.
