[PATCH] kbuild: rpm-pkg: Fix manual debuginfo generation when using .src.rpm
From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Fri Feb 13 2026 - 01:45:25 EST
Commit 62089b804895 ("kbuild: rpm-pkg: Generate debuginfo package
manually") added uses of OBJCOPY and READELF, variables from Kbuild.
These variables are defined and work properly when using the binrpm-pkg
target because rpmbuild is run within Kbuild. However, these variables
are not defined when building from a source RPM package generated with
the srcrpm-pkg target, breaking the build when generating the debug info
subpackage.
Define a default value for these variables so that these commands
respect the value from Kbuild but continue to work when built from a
source RPM package.
