Yann reported in [1] that edk2 build could sometimes fail. The issue
can be reproduced when per-package directories is enabled, or also
when building on a system with GNU Make >= 4.4 using the
"--shuffle=reverse" option (such as Fedora 39). Those are pointing
toward a Makefile dependency issue.
The issue can be reproduced with commands:
cat > .config <<EOF
BR2_riscv=y
BR2_RISCV_64=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TARGET_EDK2=y
EOF
make olddefconfig
Then, building either with:
make --shuffle=reverse
Or:
utils/config -e BR2_PER_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES
make olddefconfig
make -j$(nproc)
It is interesting to mention that when using "make --shuffle=reverse"
to build, the build can be completed if restarted only with "make". It
will not pull any other Buildroot package. This fact hints toward a
Makefile dependency issue internal to the EDK2 build system, rather
than in the Buildroot recipe.
The EDK2 build system is quite unique. See [2]. It generates files,
makefiles and internally uses GNU Make to compile code. This system is
likely not tested as being a sub-Make process in a complex Makefile
such as Buildroot.
In order to prevent Buildroot to pass unexpected Make flags to the
EDK2 sub-Make, this commit unset the MAKEFLAGS variable in the EDK2
build environment. This will put the EDK2 build script in a more
common and tested state. See GNU Make documentation about recursive use
of Make, more specifically [3].
Note: as mentioned, the build failure is likely due to an internal
issue of the EDK2 build system. The failure points to a missing
dependency in the EDK2 generator itself. This commit does not fix this
issue, but rather put the EDK2 build system in a normalized
environment, avoiding Buildroot flags being passed to the internal
EDK2 sub-Make invocation. The upstream EDK2 build system most likely
need a fix too.
Fixes:

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
