I did a clean build after updating the tree to next-20140618.
git status show me the following after doing make clean

# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

My tip of kernel points to commit 4ca1fbc122fcb ("Add linux-next specific
files for 20140618")

I get this error when I do a clean build too.
