This is unreadable and it does not work with my gcc version. I get
dependencies like

    $(wildcard include/config/ksym/simple/strtoull [enabled by default].h) \

Please use some other way, which does not require parsing the compiler
diagnostic messages. A straightforward solution is to do something
similar to genksyms: A separate preprocessor pass with -Dsomething that
leaves the EXPORT_SYMBOL statements alone and just collect their occurences.

Thanks,
