the fixdep error indicates that it was invoked after building object
plugin_kmem-in.o, but it could not find its dep file (.plugin_kmem-in.o.d)
which is built within the object build.. so seems like race with clean
or other build of the same object

however ;-)

The 'Makefile' processing itself isn't paralel and will exec
clean and install targets serialized:

---
[root@intel-wildcatpass-07 perf]# make clean install
make -f Makefile.perf --no-print-directory -j88 O=  clean
  CLEAN    libtraceevent
  CLEAN    libapi
  CLEAN    libbpf
  CLEAN    config
  CLEAN    core-objs
  CLEAN    core-progs
  CLEAN    core-gen
  SUBDIR   Documentation
  CLEAN    Documentation
  CLEAN    python
  BUILD:   Doing 'make -j88' parallel build
make -f Makefile.perf --no-print-directory -j88 O=  install

Auto-detecting system features:
...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
...                         glibc: [ on  ]
---

I can't make that failure on 88 cpus server, I assume you can
reproduce this fairly easily?

Could you please share failing build output from:
  $ make V=1 clean install

thanks,
jirka
