Hmm.

I explicitly tested this scenario to make sure it worked, since you
run into the same issue when building modules on-target.

make-mod-scripts is running out of the same SCM as the main kernel
build, so it should match, and did in my testing (otherwise
lttng-modules wouldn't work).

Can you send the exact steps, which kernel recipe you are using, etc.
That way I can reproduce the problem locally.
