When built-in.o was incrementally linked with 'ld -r', the section mismatch analysis for the individual built-in.o was possible when CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH was enabled. With the migration to the thin archive, built-in.a (former, built-in.o) is no longer an ELF file. So, the modpost does nothing useful. scripts/mod/modpost.c just checks the header to bail out, as follows: /* Is this a valid ELF file? */ if ((hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG0] != ELFMAG0) || (hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG1] != ELFMAG1) || (hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG2] != ELFMAG2) || (hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG3] != ELFMAG3)) { /* Not an ELF file - silently ignore it */ return 0; } We have the full analysis in the final link stage anyway, so we would not miss the section mismatching. I do not see a good reason to require extra linking only for the purpose of the per-directory analysis. Just get rid of this part.
