I checked out next-20140606 and added the fix on top:

$ git cherry-pick d4bc590f8716f7dde6b7bca319097ac30a8cb0b4
[test cfc8100] um: Fix for relative objtree when generating x86 headers
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-)
$ git rev-parse HEAD^{tree}
8fad860b10c2abc86b1ca820a1b9f2a9267e669b

The resulting tree id should be identical to yours (the commit id
depends on time). It still works for me, however:

$ make mrproper

  GEN     ./Makefile

... and so on. Can you please post the whole make V=1 log leading to the
failure?

That's great. I will push the fix, since at least on scenario is confirmed to
work.

Thanks,
