Always, like *really* *always*, do

$ make mrproper

or even

$ git clean -dqfx

before testing kernels. I've learned that the hard way and it seems
you just did too.

Btw, be careful with that git clean command - it kills *everything*. I
do "git clean -dnx" just in case before doing the "-f" thing.
