Running 'make nsdeps' in a clean source tree fails as follows: $ make -s clean; make -s defconfig; make nsdeps [ snip ] awk: fatal: cannot open file `init/modules.order' for reading (No such file or directory) make: *** [Makefile;1307: modules.order] Error 2 make: *** Deleting file 'modules.order' make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... The cause of the error is 'make nsdeps' does not build modules at all. Set KBUILD_MODULES to fix it.
