Masahiro Yamada cb08a02659 kbuild: rpm-pkg: disable kernel-devel package when cross-compiling
Since commit f1d87664b8 ("kbuild: cross-compile linux-headers package
when possible"), 'make binrpm-pkg' may attempt to cross-compile the
kernel-devel package, but it fails under certain circumstances.

For example, when CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is enabled on openSUSE
Tumbleweed, the following command fails:

  $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-suse-linux- binrpm-pkg
      [ snip ]

     25 | #include <openssl/opensslv.h>
        |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  compilation terminated.

I believe this issue is less common on Fedora because the disto's cross-
compilier cannot link user-space programs. Hence, CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK is
unset.

On Fedora 40, the package information explains this limitation clearly:

  $ dnf info gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu
      [ snip ]
  Description  : Cross-build GNU C compiler.
               :
               : Only building kernels is currently supported.  Support for cross-building
               : user space programs is not currently provided as that would massively multiply
               : the number of packages.

Anyway, cross-compiling RPM packages is somewhat challenging.

This commit disables the kernel-devel package when cross-compiling
because I did not come up with a better solution.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
