syncconfig is responsible for keeping auto.conf up-to-date, so if it fails for any reason, the build must be terminated immediately. However, since commit 9390dff66a52 ("kbuild: invoke syncconfig if include/config/auto.conf.cmd is missing"), Kbuild continues running even after syncconfig fails. You can confirm this by intentionally making syncconfig error out: diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c b/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c index 08ba146..307b9de 100644 --- a/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c +++ b/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c @@ -1023,6 +1023,9 @@ int conf_write_autoconf(int overwrite) FILE *out, *tristate, *out_h; int i; + if (overwrite) + return 1; + if (!overwrite && is_present(autoconf_name)) return 0; Then, syncconfig fails, but Make would not stop: $ make -s mrproper allyesconfig defconfig $ make scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig *** Error during sync of the configuration. make[2]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile;69: syncconfig] Error 1 make[1]: *** [Makefile;557: syncconfig] Error 2 make: *** [include/config/auto.conf.cmd] Deleting file 'include/config/tristate.conf' make: Failed to remake makefile 'include/config/auto.conf'.

As far as exampled, the target in question when this rule is invoked is auto.conf.cmd probably because it is included (line 654) below the inclusion of auto.conf (line 603). The inclusion of auto.conf is mandatory, while that of auto.conf.cmd is optional. GNU Make does not care about the failure during updating optional include files. I filed this issue (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56301) in case this behavior could be improved somehow. Anyway, it is quite easy to fix our Makefile. Given that auto.conf is already a mandatory include file, there is no reason to stick auto.conf.cmd optional. Make it mandatory as well.
