[U-Boot] build fail due to dependence error

Hi Guys,
I met below error from time to time when build U-Boot project.
fixdep: error opening config file: arch/arm/include/asm/arch/hardware.h: No such file or directory
The folder 'arch/arm/include/asm/arch' is a link for 'arch/arm/include/asm/arch-rockchip',
which is dynamic generate by build system, I thinks there should be some dependency issue?
How to fix this kind of issue?
Thanks,
- Kever

Hi Simon,
Do you have any idea about this error?

Kever,
is the link for ‘asm’ set up correctly?
Thanks, Philipp.

I am not sure what is going on there. I don't see this.
Are you using 'make distclean' or 'make mrproper' on your object tree every now and then?

This is happen sometimes in our Jenkins verify, It will gone when I rebase the patch(re-build without any change), we do 'make distclean' every time before a new build.

Kever,
Could you check the build artifacts in Jenkins to see whether after the ‘make [configname]_defconfig’, the link for asm/arch is correctly set up?
Thanks, Philipp.

Just for information, I have also the same issue sometime in the same context (Jenkins build) for stm32mp1 board.
The error is : "Missing stm32.h file in the directory include/asm/arch/"
I try to understood the dependency issue, but I don't found any issue: the needed symbolic link is done just before in the trace of the artifact...

I don't understood why the dependency failed....
Perhaps it is because in our Jenkins task the parallel compilation is requested with high value... (-J 8) and the dependency check is done in parallel of the link creation....
The dependancy are : ./arch/arm/lib/asm-offsets.c => Kbuild
with: lib/asm-offsets.s: lib/asm-offsets.c FORCE
but the link on the directory is requested only by the rules about config.h not for stm32.h (or hardware.h in your case): ./scripts/Makefile.autoconf:115:include/config.h: scripts/Makefile.autoconf create_symlink FORCE
Perhaps add a simple rule in some makefile can solve the issue....
For me
include/asm/arch/stm32.h: create_symlink
or for you :
include/asm/arch/hardware.h: create_symlink
or it is better to add generic dependancy in ./scripts/Makefile.autoconf ?
include/asm/arch/*.h: create_symlink

Perhaps it is because in our Jenkins task the parallel compilation is requested with high value... (-J 8) and the dependency check is done in parallel of the link creation….
For what it’s worth: I always build with -j8 on my main development system and have never (my expectation would be that it should have cropped up at least a few times over the years) encountered this.
The dependancy are : ./arch/arm/lib/asm-offsets.c => Kbuild
with: lib/asm-offsets.s: lib/asm-offsets.c FORCE
