Kevin Locke 7bf179de5b kbuild: avoid regex RS for POSIX awk
In 22f26f2177 awk was added to deduplicate *.mod files.  The awk
invocation passes -v RS='( |\n)' to match a space or newline character
as the record separator.  Unfortunately, POSIX states[1]

> If RS contains more than one character, the results are unspecified.

Some implementations (such as the One True Awk[2] used by the BSDs) do
not treat RS as a regular expression.  When awk does not support regex
RS, build failures such as the following are produced (first error using
allmodconfig):

      CC [M]  arch/x86/events/intel/uncore.o
      CC [M]  arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_nhmex.o
      CC [M]  arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_snb.o
      CC [M]  arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_snbep.o
      CC [M]  arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_discovery.o
      LD [M]  arch/x86/events/intel/intel-uncore.o
    ld: cannot find uncore_nhmex.o: No such file or directory
    ld: cannot find uncore_snb.o: No such file or directory
    ld: cannot find uncore_snbep.o: No such file or directory
    ld: cannot find uncore_discovery.o: No such file or directory
    make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:422: arch/x86/events/intel/intel-uncore.o] Error 1
    make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:487: arch/x86/events/intel] Error 2
    make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:487: arch/x86/events] Error 2
    make: *** [Makefile:1839: arch/x86] Error 2

To avoid this, use printf(1) to produce a newline between each object
path, instead of the space produced by echo(1), so that the default RS
can be used by awk.
