OK, the "-C /home/user/linux-sunxi/" changes to that directory, and
since you do not specify a "-f", it'll use the makefile there. Your OP
shows it finding one in /home/user/linux-sunxi/scripts/, IIUC:

I.e. Makefile.build has apparently used the M=$PWD (Look for a $M in
Makefile.build) to partially undo the effect of your "-C". Since there
is no makefile at that $PWD, Makefile.build clearly expects you to be in
the subdirectory. Is there no "README" or "BUILD" in the top directory
to explain this requirement? (Or some release notes?)

Ah, then many of the upthread builds were done on the target?
(Where suitable system headers ought to be available close to hand.)

Having over the last few decades only moved from the venerable unix
"mail" program to "mutt", I still eschew html, so can't see bold. I did
open your post in edit mode, to see if I could find something like
<bold>, but no go. Ah, I see two asterisks on the prime candidate:

Well the whole tree is module source, I figure, if there are .c files
in there.

No worries. Have to respect you for diving in the deep end without a
snorkel, and not giving up. Things are quiet on most of the other lists
I'm on, and your problem is relaxing so far, requiring only dusting off
of some memory cobwebs, and trying to read carefully. Since neither of
us knows that it can't be done, who's to say you won't succeed?
