This is not an enough hack because scripts/mod/modinfo.o
is a new requirement for building external modules.
'make clean' would need a similar treatment.
'make help' goes:
clean - Remove most generated files but keep the config and
enough build support to build external modules
Or, another approach is to generate a different object
when building external modules.
A patch attached (on top of this).
