Like 4.9.y it builds clean except for a couple of stack frame size warnings
and this one that continues to puzzle me.

/bin/sh: 1: /home/buildslave/workspace/kernel-builder/arch/x86/defconfig/allmodconfig+CONFIG_OF=n/label/builder/next/build-x86/tools/objtool//fixdep:
Permission denied

https://storage.kernelci.org/next/next-20170309/x86-allmodconfig+CONFIG_OF=n/build.log

The same warning is referenced in this email:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1612.0/04384.html

but I can't figure out what patch is supposed to address it, or if that
patch made it into mainline.

Curiously, only allmodconfig+CONFIG_OF=n seems to be broken, not
plain allmodconfig, maybe this could be related to rebuilding in the same
object tree without "make clean". Also, all recent kernels (since December)
until next-20170309 seem to be affected, but it does not show up on
the latest linux-next (next-20170310). I don't seen anything in next-20170310
that could have addressed it, so it may also be a coincidence that we don't
hit a certain race condition during build this time.

Adding Ingo, Arnaldo and Stephen to Cc, maybe they know what is going
on here.
