The current rule for generating the {shipped,extra}-certs.c source files
might create an invalid C source file, containing redefinitions of the
same variables:
CC [M] net/wireless/shipped-certs.o
net/wireless/shipped-certs.c:686:10: error: redefinition of 'shipped_regdb_certs'
const u8 shipped_regdb_certs[] = {
^
net/wireless/shipped-certs.c:2:10: note: previous definition of 'shipped_regdb_certs' was here
const u8 shipped_regdb_certs[] = {
^
net/wireless/shipped-certs.c:1368:14: error: redefinition of 'shipped_regdb_certs_len'
unsigned int shipped_regdb_certs_len = sizeof(shipped_regdb_certs);
^
net/wireless/shipped-certs.c:684:14: note: previous definition of 'shipped_regdb_certs_len' was here
unsigned int shipped_regdb_certs_len = sizeof(shipped_regdb_certs);
^
This can be easily triggered by forcing a rebuild of these files:
$ touch net/wireless/certs/sforshee.x509
$ make
In practice, this is seen often by having a separate source and build
directory, where the build artifacts remain but the source tree changes
(even if Seth's cert doesn't change, it might get created/removed when
checking out different source revisions).
I don't see why this rule should be an append; we're writing the file
all in one go.

This is an error introduced in 4.15-rc1.
I've seen other errors reported by Paul and Damian (CC'd); I think Paul's
failure was fixed already, but Damian might have still been having problems
with not having a "clean" environment. Perhaps he was hitting this bug?
