Urgh, thanks. I assumed that all the include/generated/ stuff was always
generated by the prepare steps in the top Makefile. But the logic for
making compile.h is in init/Makefile.

The same happens in current mainline for arch/x86/boot/version.o:
$ make arch/x86/boot/version.o
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
DESCEND objtool
CC arch/x86/boot/version.o
arch/x86/boot/version.c:17:31: fatal error: generated/compile.h: No such
file or directory
Cc kbuild: Wouldn't it be a little nicer creating generated/compile.h
along with the other files in generated/, so that everybody can rely on
them being there instead of having the logic for compile.h hidden away
in init/Makefile and listing it as an explicit dependency? Or is there
some reason compile.h is special?
