I reported this last week on LKML and I'm building on a freshly installed
systems that do not have ccache installed.

For example,

[root@intel-brickland-04 linux]# rpm -q ccache
package ccache is not installed
[root@intel-brickland-04 linux]# which ccache
/usr/bin/which: no ccache in
(/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/libexec/git-core:/root/bin)

In my case I tracked this to commit 3637efb00864 ("x86/mce: Add PCI quirks to
identify Xeons with machine check recovery") which adds the include for
generated/autoksyms.h.

Searching LKML and I came across a report from Ken Moffat from a month ago:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147794681124332&w=2

Also cc'ing linux-kbuild.
