It seems to work for me. Can you try the patch below? It needs to be
applied before merging 9599ec0 to have any effect.

From: Michal Marek <mmarek@xxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] fixdep: Do not record dependency on the source file itself

The dependency is already expressed by the Makefiles, storing it in the
.cmd file breaks build if a .c file is replaced by .S or vice versa,
because the .cmd file contains

foo/bar.o: foo/bar.c ...

foo/bar.c ... :

so the foo/bar.c -> foo/bar.o rule triggers even if there is no
foo/bar.c anymore.
