Building the kernel with O= is affected by stale in-tree build artifacts.
So, if the source tree is not clean, Kbuild displays the following:

Usually, running 'make mrproper' is sufficient for cleaning the source
tree for out-of-tree builds.
However, building UML generates build artifacts not only in arch/um/,
but also in the SUBARCH directory (i.e., arch/x86/). If in-tree stale
files remain under arch/x86/, Kbuild will reuse them instead of creating
new ones under the specified build directory.
This commit makes 'make ARCH=um clean' recurse into the SUBARCH directory.

It doesn't solve the problem. I still see arch/x86/realmode/rm/pasyms.h
after running make ARCH=um mrproper
A subsequent kunit run on x86_64 fails. make ARCH=x86_64 mrproper
will remove the headers for x86_64 properly. The patch I proposed
prompts user run mrproper on the arch in compile.h - It works now
for the case where compile.h doesn't exist. I can send that out
unless you have other ideas on how to fix this.
My workflow:
- Build kernel on x86_64 with CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT enabled
- Check for arch/x86/realmode/rm/pasyms.h
ls arch/x86/realmode/rm/pasyms.h
arch/x86/realmode/rm/pasyms.h
- make ARCH=um O=/linux/build
This patch cleans the source tree, but doesn't remove
arch/x86/realmode/rm/pasyms.h
- ls arch/x86/realmode/rm/pasyms.h
arch/x86/realmode/rm/pasyms.h
- ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --alltests --arch x86_64
