Thanks for reporting! I'll try that later today.
Just to clarify, are you using mm-unstable and if so, has it been
rebased since Friday? There was an update to this patchset in
mm-unstable which Andrew merged on Friday and the failure does look
like something that would happen with the previous version.

I tried reproducing the issue but so far unsuccessfully. Could you
please confirm that on the latest mm-unstable branch it's still
reproducible and if so, please provide detailed instructions on how
you reproduce it.

This is linux-next. I pasted the commands used to build and sent links
to a full build log in the original report.

Probably also related to "make headers-install":

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231209020144.244759-1-jhubbard@xxxxxxxxxx

The general problem is that some mm selftests are currently not written in way that allows them to compile with old linux headers. That's why the build fails if "make headers-install" was not executed, but it does not fail if "make headers-install" was once upon a time executed, but the headers are outdated.
