For convenience, I pushed this series at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild.git uapi-header-test-v1 (13/15 was replaced with v2) If you want to test it quickly, please check-out it, then $ make -j8 allmodconfig usr/ (As I noted in the commit log, you need to use a compiler that provides <stdlib.h>, <sys/time.h>, etc.) -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
