[PATCH] Documentation: kbuild: note CONFIG_DEBUG_EFI in reproducible builds
From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Wed Jun 25 2025 - 09:01:10 EST
CONFIG_EFI_DEBUG embeds absolute file paths into object files, which
makes the resulting vmlinux specific to the build environment.
Add a note about this in reproducible-builds.rst
