[SOLVED] No rule to make target when building the kernel

I've been rebuilding the same kernel for a few months now. After the latest gcc update I get

$ make
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  DESCEND objtool
  DESCEND bpf/resolve_btfids
make[4]: *** No rule to make target '/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.2.0/include/stddef.h', needed by '/path/kernel/linux-6.0-rc7/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/fixdep.o'.  Stop.
make[3]: *** [Makefile:47: /path/kernel/linux-6.0-rc7/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/fixdep-in.o] Error 2
make[2]: *** [/path/kernel/linux-6.0-rc7/tools/build/Makefile.include:5: fixdep] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile:76: bpf/resolve_btfids] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:1348: tools/bpf/resolve_btfids] Error 2

I suppose this is an incompatibility with my current gcc

$  gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 12.2.1 20230201

I wouldn' t want to downgrade gcc just to try, what can be the problem here?

I should add: I would want to avoid a `make clean`  since it will require me to recompile a bunch of kernel modules manually

marking as solved since I couldn' t avoid the make clean.
