Thanks, looks good to me.  W/o this patch 'make COMPILED_SOURCE=1
cscope' is actually not usable on my system, as soon as some rust libs
are in my build tree, so thanks for fixing!

As this is a not really a build relevant bug, I think this should go via
some -next rather than a -fixes tree [1].

Miguel, are you with with it if I take this patch as well as the second
one [2] via kbuild-next?

(I tend to remove the Cc trailers from this patch here, as they are
incomplete.)

Kind regards,
Nicolas
