As far as I tested, "coccicheck failed" error only happens
when ONLINE=1.


make -j8 C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck  COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/misc/bugon.cocci

emits lots of errors.


make -j8 coccicheck  COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/misc/bugon.cocci

is fine.


Have you tested it?
Do you mean you got a different result from mine?
