The .config file and the generated include/config/auto.conf can end up out of sync after a set of commands since CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO is not updated correctly. The sequence can be reproduced as follows: $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig [...] $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- menuconfig [set CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO="arm-linux-gnueabihf-"] $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- Which results in: arch/arm64/Makefile:62: CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT not defined or empty, the compat vDSO will not be built even though the compat vDSO has been built: $ file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so: ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=c67f6c786f2d2d6f86c71f708595594aa25247f6, stripped A similar case that involves changing the configuration parameter multiple times can be reconducted to the same family of problems. Remove the use of CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO altogether and instead rely on the cross-compiler prefix coming from the environment via CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT, much like we do for the rest of the kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
