Subject: kbuild: Abort build if SUBDIRS used
Forwarded: not-needed
Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/987575
DKMS and module-assistant both build OOT modules as root. If they
build an old OOT module that still use SUBDIRS this causes Kbuild
to try building a full kernel, which obviously fails but not before
deleting files from the installed headers package.
To avoid such mishaps, detect this situation and abort the build.
The error message is based on that used in commit 0126be38d988
"kbuild: announce removal of SUBDIRS if used".
