An internet search for "No rule to make target debian/<various>-certs.pem needed by certs/x509_certificate_list" reveals lots of people with similar trouble, with many suggestions for how to avoid the issue, eg in:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67670169/compiling-kernel-gives-error-no-rule-to-make-target-debian-certs-debian-uefi-ce I'm not familiar with the instructions you presumably followed for setting up this build, nor with compiling the Linux kernel more generally, but I see no grounds here for thinking that this demonstrates a bug in Gnu Make. ________________________________ From: bug-make-bounces+martin.dorey=hds....@gnu.org <bug-make-bounces+martin.dorey=hds....@gnu.org> on behalf of Alessandro Carrera <alessandrocarrer...@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, June 10, 2023 02:01 To: bug-make@gnu.org <bug-make@gnu.org> Subject: building failure ***** EXTERNAL EMAIL ***** Good morning, I am studying on "Linux Kernel programming" by K.N.Billimoria but I have to stop my learning because of the failure to build the Kernel image running make command (v.4.3 on x86_64_pc_linux_gnu) with .config written by $ make LSMOD= /tmp/lsmod.now localmodconfig. You can see the error messages in the attached file (Linux-5.10.183) I had analogous messages starting by Kernel source Linux-6.1.12 and processing .config written by $ cp /boot/config-5.19.0-42-generic and $ make LSMOD= /tmp/lsmod.now localmodconfig followed by little changes running menuconfig UI. Can you help me? Thanks. Best regards Alessandro Carrera (Italy)
