Yes, I naturally cannot tell from here, but it sounds like for some
reason the procedure was terminated prematurely.

​But, you would argue that what terminated was the make-kpkg efforts to make use of the result of the successful compilation not a malfunction of the compiler itself........

At least I think that is what you are saying/suggesting here.

It did occur to me that maybe I still need some extra package to be installed either for the compiler or make-kpkg here.
