When running kvmtool after updating without doing a make clean, one might run into strange issues such as: Warning: Failed init: symbol_init Fatal: Initialisation failed or worse. This happens because symbol.o is not automatically rebuilt after a change of headers, because .symbol.o.d is not in the $(DEPS) variable. So if the layout of struct kvm_config changes, for example, symbols.o that was built for an older version will try to read kvm->vmlinux from the wrong location in struct kvm, and lkvm will die. Add all .d files to $(DEPS). Also include $(STATIC_DEPS) which was previously set but not used.
