hum, looks like it imight be related to this fix we did for perf:
  abb26210a395 perf tools: Force fixdep compilation at the start of the build

it's forcing fixdep to be build as first.. having it as a simple dependency
(which AFAICS is objtool case), the make -jX occasionaly raced on high cpu
servers, and executed unfinished binary, hence the permission fail
