Here are the build results from automated periodic testing.

The tree being built was stable-rc, found at:

Build logs (stderr only) can be found at the following link (experimental):

I was unable to reproduce this with a regular build outside of the batch builder. Main difference is that I didn't use ccache, so I suspect the warnings are related to ccache (and presumably not a real problem with the kernel).

Annoying and noisy though.

Found it!

Russell fixed it in dd39a26538e3 ("scripts: recordmcount: break hardlinks")

Greg, can you add this to 3.18.y?

For some reason, it made it into 3.2 and 3.16 stable kernels, but not 3.16 and 4.1. 4.4 contains the original upstream fix.

Now queued up, thanks!
