+Subject: [PATCH] prepare_build: use return code 77 if skipping due to
+ BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_*
+
+error code 9 is used at multiple locations throughout the dkms code
+to indicate different unrelated errors
+
+error code 77 has been used by GNU autotest for skipped tests and was
+later adopted by other testing frameworks
