I tried this.

I built fa8e6bb658f682ff63b3af3dd4c5e4d3b43f4ffd (pending-fixes) first,
then merged b326faa3e125.

Weird 'Entering/Leaving directory' logs.

In my case, it went quite normally.

I see only one 'Entering directory', with no error.

masahiro@oscar:~/ref/linux-next$ make ARCH=x86_64
CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-linux-gnu- O=../obj  -j24
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/masahiro/ref/obj'
  GEN     Makefile
  DESCEND objtool

  CALL    /home/masahiro/ref/linux-next/scripts/checksyscalls.sh
