If you extract the Linux kernel tree on dax-based ext2 filesystem (use the real ext2 driver, not ext4), and then you run make twice, the second invocation will rebuild everything. It seems like a problem with timestamps. mount -t ext2 -o dax /dev/pmem0 /mnt/ext2/ cd /mnt/ext2/usr/src/git/linux-2.6 make clean make -j12 make -j12 <--- this rebuilds the whole tree, althought it shouldn't I wasn't able to bisect it because this bug seems to be present in every kernel I tried (back to 4.16.0). Ext4 doesn't seem to have this bug. Mikulas
