We have neither modules.builtin.modinfo nor modules.builtin.info.
A little googling turned out that modules.builtin.modinfo seems to have

kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko

grep: /lib/modules/4.19.110-axis8/modules.builtin.modinfo: No such file or directory

This is an embedded product built with our own distribution based on 
Poky Gatesgarth from the Yocto Project. The rootfs is read-only, including 
/lib/modules, so any contest there is created when the firmware image is 
built.
