Error crypto/Kconfig:1425: can't open file "arch/arm/crypto/Kconfig"

I recently installed Wireguard and I think that it changed something in the config. I rebooted, then VMWare wanted to recompile Kernel Headers, but it fails. If I attempt to configure, clean or do anything using the 'make' utility, I get the following error: "crypto/Kconfig:1425: can't open file "arch/arm/crypto/Kconfig". I am running on an Intel System. Not sure why it is looking for an ARM config. I reinstalled the kernel headers. This is the output:

Any ideas on how should I proceed? I am scratching my head at this point.

Possibly related to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=284234 as build/include/generated/autoconf.h is shown to have been deleted in the output you posted.  Is `pacman -Qkk linux-headers` still detecting the file as missing?  Are there any DKMS modules installed on the system?

Did you miss the last line of the output containing the integrity check status?  So the end of the output should be similar to:

....
Install Reason  : Explicitly installed
Install Script  : No
Validated By    : Signature

Hate to necrobump as my first post but any resolution on this? I've actually had this issue relatively consistently over the past 8ish months across multiple configurations. Only with kernels installed by Pacman, directly into /usr/lib/modules and then symlinked to /usr/src. Am also using Intel, but bare metal.

This is caused by a bad dkms module. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2089685
