Public bug reported:
LRM and the end-user system are intended to assemble the package in the
same manner to ensure we have reproducible binaries. This is needed so
that pre-generated signatures are applicable. It seems for (at least
some installations) when CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is set that though the LRM
assembly completes correctly in the face of seemingly benign errors,
that the final end-user assembly only works for two of the four kernel
modules.
Cleaning up the errors for _only_ the end-user assembly renders the
binaries identical to those produced in the main package and thus
matching the signatures. It is unclear as to the trigger leading to the
failure to assemble on the end-user system.
