commit 3d57e1b7 ("kbuild: refactor the prerequisites of the modpost
rule") moved 'vmlinux.o' inside modpost-args, possibly before some of
the other options. However, getopt() in musl libc follows POSIX and
stops looking for options upon reaching the first non-option argument.
As a result, the '-T' option is misinterpreted as a positional argument,
and the build fails:

  make -f ./scripts/Makefile.modpost
     scripts/mod/modpost   -E   -o Module.symvers vmlinux.o -T modules.order
  -T: No such file or directory
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:137: Module.symvers] Error 1
  make: *** [Makefile:1960: modpost] Error 2

The fix is to move all options before 'vmlinux.o' in modpost-args.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
