That might be rather later, but I seem to have the same problem:
  CHK     kernel/config_data.h
  MK_FW   firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin.gen.S

Makefile:896: recipe for target 'firmware' failed
make: *** [firmware] Error 2

The directory firmware/amd-ucode does not exist in the kernel source
tree, but my .config seems to need it:
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/R700_rlc.bin radeon/RV710_uvd.bin
radeon/RV730_smc.bin amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"

Just doing a "mkdir firmware/amd-ucode" lets the build continue and I
get a working 3.16 kernel.

With 3.15 and earlier I never had a problem with this, but 3.16-rc4
just failed with above message.

Do you need my full .config or any other information about my system?
I would be happy to provide that and/or test a patch.

Thanks for looking into this!
