    kbuild: check arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated before out-of-tree build · a788b2ed

    After cross-compiling the kernel, "make mrproper" should be executed
    with the proper ARCH= option. Otherwise, stale objects will remain
    under arch/$(SRCARCH)/.
    
    One bad scenario is like this:
    
      $ make ARCH=arm defconfig all   # cross-compile the kernel for arm
      $ make mrproper                 # mrproper for host-arch (i.e. x86)
      $ make ARCH=arm O=build_dir defconfig all
    
    If you miss ARCH= for mrproper and cross-compile the kernel with O=
    and ARCH= options, Kbuild will happily start to build, but may fail
    due to stale objects in the srctree.
    
    If $(srctree)/arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated/ exists, let's stop
    the out-of-tree build. To detect this, mrproper should clean only
    arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated/.
