According to Documentation/Changes, the kernel should be buildable with GNU make 3.80+. Commit 88d7be031f9f975bb3f50a0b5ef3796a671e7edf (kbuild: Use a single clean rule for kernel and external modules) introduced the "$(or" construct, which requires make 3.81. This causes "make clean" to malfunction when it is used with external modules. Replace "$(or" with an equivalent "$(if" expression, to restore backward compatibility.
