Not a new problem. Real issue is "CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=" in .config,
leading to:

    ./include/generated/autoconf.h:1113:28: error: invalid suffix
"xUL" on integer constant
     #define CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET 0x

Why is CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET empty?

    scripts/kconfig/conf  --oldconfig Kconfig
    .config:316:warning: symbol value '' invalid for PAGE_OFFSET

config PAGE_OFFSET
        hex
        default PHYS_OFFSET if !MMU

# CONFIG_MMU is not set
but CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET does not exist in .config??

config PHYS_OFFSET
        hex "Physical address of main memory" if MMU
        depends on !ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT

          Please provide the physical address corresponding to the
          location of main memory in your system.

Aha, CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT=y

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
