Hi Masahiro,

I checked this out and went to run it through my QEMU tests but I see
two new errors.

Failure #1:

In file included from scripts/mod/section-check.c:3:
scripts/mod/modpost.h:15:10: fatal error: 'elfconfig.h' file not found
#include "elfconfig.h"
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

I was able to get past that with

diff --git a/scripts/mod/Makefile b/scripts/mod/Makefile
index ca739c6c68a1..c33b83bfbcad 100644

I was not really able to see what is going wrong here. Attached is the
configuration that I ran into this with. If you need any other
information, please let me know!

Cheers,
Nathan
