PROBLEM: 5.9.0-rc6 fails to compile due to 'redefinition of ‘dax_supported’'

I am trying to compile for an x86_64 machine (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz). The config file I am currently using is at
https://termbin.com/xin7
The build for 5.9.0-rc6 fails with the following errors:
--- cut here ---
drivers/dax/super.c:325:6: error: redefinition of ‘dax_supported’
325 | bool dax_supported(struct dax_device *dax_dev, struct block_device *bdev,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from drivers/dax/super.c:16:
./include/linux/dax.h:162:20: note: previous definition of ‘dax_supported’ was here
162 | static inline bool dax_supported(struct dax_device *dax_dev,

That's earlier on, and then later, at the end of the (failed) build:
make: *** [Makefile:1784: drivers] Error 2
The full build log is at

but I do not see anything else amiss. 5.9.0-rc5 built fine last week.
