Zhenzhong Duan reported that running 'make O=/build/kernel binrpm-pkg' failed with the following errors: Running 'make O=/build/kernel binrpm-pkg' failed with below two errors. Makefile:600: include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory + cp make -C /mnt/root/kernel O=/build/kernel image_name make -f /mnt/root/kernel/Makefile ... cp: invalid option -- 'C' Try 'cp --help' for more information. Prior to commit80463f1b7b("kbuild: add --include-dir flag only for out-of-tree build"), both srctree and objtree were added to --include-dir redundantly, and the wrong code 'make image_name' was working by relying on that. Now, the potential issue that had previously been hidden just showed up. 'make image_name' recurses to the generated $(objtree)/Makefile and ends up with running in srctree, which is incorrect. It should be invoked with '-f $srctree/Makefile' (or KBUILD_SRC=) to be executed in objtree.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
