The problem appears if you had previously auto-generated files in
arch/mips/include/generated that do not get automatically cleaned up
when you switch to a new kernel version, and with an incompatible
ucontext layout between the two.

Jacek tripped over that here:

https://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2015-09/msg00150.html

and I asked whether we could follow-up with a proper Kbuild patch to
address that build dependency here:

https://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2015-09/msg00165.html

but this does not appear to have been proposed or addressed yet.

Paul, could you look into this and see how we could teach Kbuild about
this build dependency?
