I wonder if this is due to the O= argument.
Last week I noticed that some TARGETs explicitly have support for
this, like x86. Added in 2016 in commit a8ba798bc8ec6 ("selftests:
enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT"). But by now this support is hardly
universal. amd-pstate does not have this infra, for instance.
Though if the only breakage is in net/lib, then that does not explain it fully.
