Thanks for your patch!

The above line is lacking a "\n", causing:

    ./arch/m68k/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h:370:42:
warning: no newline at end of file

Changing it to:

    printf "#endif /* %s */\n" "${fileguard}"

fixes this.

Interestingly, this issue seems to be present on powerpc, parisc, sparc,
sh, xtensa (and probably more, I gave up looking), too?

Apart from that, it seems to work fine on m68k.
