Subject: Makefile race in 4.9-rc3 (generated/autoksyms.h: No such file or directory)

I just tried to build 4.9 (rc3) for the first time (x86_64, i7 haswell)
 After making my choices in make oldconfig, make -j8 failed in
less than 2 sec.

I then ran make clean and gave it another try, again using -j8.
This time i t worked, so I guess there is a race in a Makefile.
