We do not support out-of-tree building of rpm-pkg / deb-pkg. If O= is given, the build should be terminated, but the "false" command is not effective since it is not the last command in the cmd_src_tar. Then, rpm-pkg / deb-pkg tries to continue building, and fails for a different reason. Set -e option so that the "false" terminates the building immediately. I also put the error messages to stderr, and made it stand out more. For example, "make O=foo rpm-pkg" will fail as follows: /bin/bash ../scripts/package/mkspec >./kernel.spec TAR kernel-4.15.0_rc2+.tar.gz ERROR: Building source tarball is not possible outside the kernel source tree. Don't set KBUILD_OUTPUT, or use the binrpm-pkg or bindeb-pkg target instead. ../scripts/package/Makefile:53: recipe for target 'rpm-pkg' failed
