Inserting

	$(info XXXX $(srcdir)/$(hdr)), \
	$(info YYYY $(oldsrcdir)/$(hdr)), \

did not work.

No. But supplying V=1 revealed that $(_dst) is an empty string at

  # Recursion
  hdr-inst := -rR -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.headersinst obj
  .PHONY: $(subdirs)
  $(subdirs):
          $(Q)$(MAKE) $(hdr-inst)=$(obj)/$@ dst=$(_dst)/$@

when using GNU Make 3.80, while $(_dst) contains appropriate string when using
GNU Make 3.81.



With Make 3.81:
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts build_unifdef
make -rR -f /usr/src/all/linux/scripts/Makefile.headersinst obj=include/uapi
make -rR -f /usr/src/all/linux/scripts/Makefile.headersinst obj=include/uapi/asm-generic dst=include/uapi/asm-generic
make -rR -f /usr/src/all/linux/scripts/Makefile.headersinst obj=include/uapi/drm dst=include/uapi/drm
make -rR -f /usr/src/all/linux/scripts/Makefile.headersinst obj=include/uapi/linux dst=include/uapi/linux
make -rR -f /usr/src/all/linux/scripts/Makefile.headersinst obj=include/uapi/linux/byteorder dst=include/uapi/linux/byteorder
make -rR -f /usr/src/all/linux/scripts/Makefile.headersinst obj=include/uapi/linux/caif dst=include/uapi/linux/caif
(...snipped...)

With Make 3.80:
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts build_unifdef
make -rR -f /usr/src/all/linux/scripts/Makefile.headersinst obj=include/uapi
make -rR -f /usr/src/all/linux/scripts/Makefile.headersinst obj=include/uapi/asm-generic dst=/asm-generic
/usr/src/all/linux/scripts/Makefile.headersinst:50: *** Missing UAPI file /usr/src/all/linux/include/uapi/asm-generic/auxvec.h.  Stop.
