When kisskb gets an error in building a kernel, it tries to bisect the
problem starting from a known good kernel.  The above error occurs
during the bisection process not when building the original kernel.  I
guess we need to be a bit more careful when reporting the errors.  Sorry
about that.

Ah, that explains it, thanks!

I had also just noticed kernel/up.o was compiled twice, and the first
one succeeded.
Now I understand why...
