The 'fixdep' tool is used to post-process dependency files for various reasons, and it runs after every object file generation command. This even includes 'fixdep' itself. In Kbuild, this isn't actually a problem, because it uses a single command to generate fixdep (a compile-and-link command on fixdep.c), and afterward runs the fixdep command on the accompanying .fixdep.cmd file. In tools/ builds (which notably is maintained separately from Kbuild), fixdep is generated in several phases: 1. fixdep.c -> fixdep-in.o 2. fixdep-in.o -> fixdep Thus, fixdep is not available in the post-processing for step 1, and instead, we generate .cmd files that look like: ## from tools/objtool/libsubcmd/.fixdep.o.cmd # cannot find fixdep (/path/to/linux/tools/objtool/libsubcmd//fixdep) [...] These invalid .cmd files are benign in some respects, but cause problems in others (such as the linked reports). Because the tools/ build system is rather complicated in its own right (and pointedly different than Kbuild), I choose to simply open-code the rule for building fixdep, and avoid the recursive-make indirection that produces the problem in the first place.
