Public bug reported:

Cannot build a kernel module, errors in Linux headers using the current
RC4 (also tried RC3, and daily) mainline kernel packages from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline


Am able to build against a 5.4-rc4 kernel level directly from upstream kernel 
git repo (on a different platform).

To recreate error:

Install linux headers, etc from current 5.4 RC.  (used 5.4.0-050400rc4
dated 10/20 for this test)

--[/tmp/builderr/Makefile]--

EXTRA_CFLAGS +=

obj-m += conftest.o

-- [EOF] --

--[/tmp/builderr/conftest.c]--

#include <linux/module.h>
void conftest(void)
{

}
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL-2");

-- [EOF] --

Command:

make -C /lib/modules/5.4.0-050400rc4-generic/build M=/tmp/builderr/ V=2
&> make_err.log


make.log is attached.


Expected output (using above Makefile and conftest.c, performed a build on a 
system with 4.15.0-66 linux packages installed):

-- [expected output] --

make -C /lib/modules/4.15.0-66-generic/build/ M=/tmp/builderr
make: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.15.0-66-generic'
