I haven't seen this error but

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57777429/error-building-latest-linux-kernel-within-virtualbox-under-18-04-1-ubuntu/61169878#61169878

seems to indicate a file owner/permissions problem.

So please check that the whole tree (incl. local files - maybe include/config/auto.conf.cmd) is owned by you and has proper write permissions of the directory.

Then I am really curious what the next error message will be...
We have not yet had somebody who owns an SGX545 so there may be bugs in our Makefiles or code.

BR and thanks,

Nikolaus
