Issue with "kbuild: create a list of all built DTB files"

[Florian Fainelli]

Hi Masahiro,

Sorry about the late report, commit 
24507871c3c6ae4f6b460b016da7ff434cd34149 ("kbuild: create a list of all 
built DTB files") is breaking the build when we are doing a rsync of the 
Linux sources into a build directory, which is how buildroot works when 
doing a source directory override.

This does not happen when doing a build from the git directory 
containing the sources, and I cannot find a missing $(obj) reference, so 
I am left wondering what I am missing here. The build error looks like this:

cat: arch/arm64/boot/dts/actions/dtbs-list: No such file or directory
host-make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:423: 
arch/arm64/boot/dts/dtbs-list] Error 1
host-make[3]: *** Deleting file 'arch/arm64/boot/dts/dtbs-list'
host-make[2]: *** [Makefile:1394: dtbs] Error 2
host-make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

running with verbose, we can see the rule not generating an empty file 
at all:

Buildroot builds its own GNU Make version 4.4.1.

Any clues what might be going on? My defconfig is such that only 
CONFIG_ARCH_BRCMSTB is enabled, and there are essentially no .dtbs file 
that will be generated.

Thanks!
