[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#732521: virtualbox-source doesn't compile against 3.11-2

[YOSHINO Yoshihito]

Followup-For: Bug #732521
Control: reassign -1 kbuild
Control: found -1 1:0.1.9998svn2695+dfsg-1

Dear Maintainer,

I also use virtualbox-source with module-assistant and run into this problem.

> kmk[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.11-2-amd64'
> Makefile:10: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.

This is caused by a newer kmk (kbuild) which contains a
backward-incompatible change introduced in GNU make 2.82.
By downgrading kbuild to 1:0.1.9998svn2577+dfsg-3 the source builds fine.

Debian's make >= 4.0-2 includes a patch to revert the change:

> make-dfsg (4.0-2) experimental; urgency=medium
>
>   * Pull back some patches from upstream git that fix bugs. One of these
>     converts the mixed implicit and explicit rule error into a warning,
>     and that should give us a grace period to fix the Makefiles,

Applying it to kbuild also should work around this problem.
