kbuild: avoid regex RS for POSIX awk
In 22f26f21774f8 awk was added to deduplicate *.mod files. The awk invocation passes -v RS='( |\n)' to match a space or newline character as the record separator. Unfortunately, POSIX states[1] > If RS contains more than one character, the results are unspecified. Some implementations (such as the One True Awk[2] used by the BSDs) do not treat RS as a regular expression. When awk does not support regex RS, build failures such as the following are produced (first error using allmodconfig): CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore.o CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_nhmex.o CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_snb.o CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_snbep.o CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_discovery.o LD [M] arch/x86/events/intel/intel-uncore.o ld: cannot find uncore_nhmex.o: No such file or directory ld: cannot find uncore_snb.o: No such file or directory ld: cannot find uncore_snbep.o: No such file or directory ld: cannot find uncore_discovery.o: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:422: arch/x86/events/intel/intel-uncore.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:487: arch/x86/events/intel] Error 2 make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:487: arch/x86/events] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:1839: arch/x86] Error 2 To avoid this, use printf(1) to produce a newline between each object path, instead of the space produced by echo(1), so that the default RS can be used by awk.
