BTW., there's another, rather spurious bug I recently triggered in kbuild.

Occasionally when I Ctrl-C a kernel build on a system with a lot of CPUs, 
the .o.cmd file gets corrupted:

  mm/.pgtable-generic.o.cmd:5: *** unterminated call to function 'wildcard': missing ')'.  Stop.
  make: *** [Makefile:1788: mm] Error 2
  make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

The .o.cmd file is half-finished:

    $(wildcard include/config/shmem.h) \
    $(wildcard include/config/hugetlb/page.h) \
    $(wildcard include/config/zone/device.h) \
    $(wildcard include/config/dev/pagemap/ops.h) \
    $(wildcard include/config/device/private.h) \
    $(wildcard include/config/pci/p2pdma.h) \
    $(wildcard include/config/sparsemem.h) \
    $(wildcard include/config/sparsemem/vmemmap.h) \
    $(wildcard include/config/numa/balancing.h) \
    $(wildcard i
    [premature EOF]

Instead of the regular rules that end in:

    $(wildcard include/config/memory/hotplug/sparse.h) \

    mm/pgtable-generic.o: $(deps_mm/pgtable-generic.o)

    $(deps_mm/pgtable-generic.o):
    [regular EOF]

Manually removing the corrupted .o.cmd dot file solves the bug.

There's no reproducer other than Ctrl-C-ing large build jobs a couple of times.

Thanks,

	Ingo
