I found the source of the problem.
Our own code fails with:
| rm: cannot remove `/build/buildd/17438-0/linux-2.6-2.6.20~rc4/debian/linux-image-2.6.20-rc4-486/lib/modules/2.6.20-rc4-486/build': No such file or directory
It tries to remove something which should be there always.
Some lines up, the kernel supplied makefiles executes depmod.
| if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map -b /build/buildd/17438-0/linux-2.6-2.6.20~rc4/debian/linux-image-2.6.20-rc4-486 -r 2.6.20-rc4; fi
But the used release info is wrong. Now it is clear that it uses the
wrong info through the whole build.
linux-2.6 uses a localversion file to append the flavour informations to
the upstream version. There is a comment in the code which says
| # skip backup files (containing '~')
and our version contains one, so it just ignores anything.
