Hmm. So it seems that there is something wrong with the dependency
generation for the generated header files. Possibly limited to just
the uapi files.

But I can't seem to recreate it even by trying to first build 3.18-rc2
and then switching to 3.19-rc1. So there's something
not-very-straightforward going on, possibly including some nasty race
in the Makefiles.
