Well, I can reproduce it easily, so it must be a problem in the kernel
build system. I did the following (with no special bk preferences, no
"auto get" turned on):
$ bk clone bk://path/to/linux-2.6
$ mkdir foo
$ cd linux-2.6
$ make O=../foo
This dies needing a file in the scripts dir; repeatedly running the make
command gets farther each time, until finally dying trying to compile
scripts/file2alias.c, apparently due to a missing header.
