Hmm, weird! Looks like __modules contains something it shouldn't. We
changed from:
__modules := $(sort $(shell grep -h '\.ko$$' /dev/null $(wildcard $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod)))
To:
MODLISTCMD := find $(MODVERDIR) -name '*.mod' | xargs -r grep -h '\.ko$$' | sort -u
__modules := $(shell $(MODLISTCMD))
They give the same results for me:

Assuming it happens with a clean tree, please send the .config, and I'll
see if I can reproduce...
Thanks,
Rusty.
