Applied to linux-kbuild with the subject prefix fixed.
What concerned me was that this patch creates
multiple paths to visit the same directory.
[1]
ARCH=um archheaders
-> ARCH=x86 archheaders
-> arch/x86/entry/syscalls/
[2]
ARCH=um headers
-> ARCH=x86 headers
-> depends on ARCH=x86 archheaders
-> arch/x86/entry/syscalls/
After carefully reviewing the code, I was convinced that
this is not a race condition.
(I am particularly cautious about race conditions in parallel builds
and try my best to avoid such code.)
