I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry" (commit d35cb360c29956510b2fe1a953bd4968536f7216) Especially : - add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); + if (!mod->skip) + add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); } return; fail: Here is a fix that should take care if this problem. Thanks for the bug report!
