Thx for this, ran into the same problem while building -next today:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@kernel-vanilla/next/fedora-rawhide-aarch64/06247267-next-next-all/build.log.gz

FWIW, it seems Andrew had noticed it and a fix ready:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230805100033.37f1df3bf720a7c21ad8980d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Maybe it was just not committed or something?

Ciao, Thorsten
