Oh, I take that back. I just got a ton of warnings with my
allmodconfig after doing a "git clean -dqfx".

So I guess there is a dependency issue - my normal build test after
the merge didn't show any issues, simply because the change in
ksymoops didn't actually cause the version information to be
re-generated.

It doesn't seem to happen for every exported symbol, though. Odd.

Looking at it, but not making sense of it yet.
