Looks like this trivial patch missed the pull request.


My motivation is to make sure UAPI headers
are really compilable in user-space,
and now checked by the following commit:

commit d6fc9fcbaa655cff2d2be05e16867d1918f78b85
Author: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Mon Jul 1 09:58:40 2019 +0900

    kbuild: compile-test exported headers to ensure they are self-contained



Is there a chance for it being merged,
or must wait until v5.4-rc1 ?
