genksyms assumes and requires valid C code as input. genksyms does not attempt to validate the source, that is the job of gcc. If gcc barfs on the code, then do not attempt to run it through genksyms. This looks like a chicken and egg problem but is not, compile with MODVERSIONS=n to verify that new code is valid before building with MODVERSIONS=y. To put it another way, do not run modversions on test kernels.
