Hi Rudolf,

I have reported this issue and together with a path [1] to fix it.

Anyway Bruce has fixed the issue in another way in [2] and this works for me as well.

I am running into a bizarre problem with kernel configuration.

I have an existing build environment that builds for an i.MX6ul machine.
That works fine and the linux-fslc kernel 5.18 builds without any
problems. Now within the that build environment I changed the machine to
imx6ullevk and then the kernel configuration fails with this error message:

I tried to debug do_kernel_configme. The issue seems in the scc script
more specifically, I think, in the kconf command that is called by scc
when parsing the temporary configuration queue file in /tmp: tmp.owmBptYrba

Apparently a call to dirname is missing the argument. However, I do not
understand why.

I wiped out build/tmp directory entirely, ran a cleanall on
virtual/kernel but to no avail. The problem remains the same.

Has anybody seen this issue before?
