When building kernel with scan-build for analysis: $ scan-build make defconfig $ scan-build make menuconfig # disable RETPOLINE $ scan-build make -j16 bindeb-pkg since commit 7d73c3e9c514 ("Makefile: remove stale cc-option checks") it fails with: CC scripts/mod/empty.o could not find clang line make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:287: scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 1 Seems like changes to how -fconserve-stack support was detected broke build with scan-build. Revert part of mentioned commit which changed that.
