gen_compile_commands.py works perfectly fine and generates the entries
for build_policy.o and built_utility.o as expected.

gen_compile_commands.py scans the build tree for .cmd files and extracts
the command line from those files into the the json file. As there is no
.cmd file for the .c files which are included into build_*.c there wont
be entries in the json file either.

No idea where this message comes from, but certainly not from
gen_compile_commands.py because that generates the file.

The clang-tidy kernel build target generates and uses that file and that
works perfectly fine.

So what exactly broke?
