While trying this, I got a SIGBUS from fixdep once. My theory is that
the depfile is mmap()ed by fixdep and modified by the preprocesor run at
the same time. I could not reproduce this so far (still trying). But if
it's really this race, the fix would be to disable dependency generation
in the preprocessor by passing -Wp,MD,/dev/null or somesuch. But we
never had this problem with genksyms, which is weird. It could as well
be that my build machine's memory is faulty :(.
