With 4.13-rc4 I can get a similar build failure on my Fedora 26 workstation with

make allnoconfig; make -j2 clean all

/bin/sh: scripts/mod/empty.o: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/Makefile:24: scripts/mod/elfconfig.h] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:561: scripts/mod] Error 2

Here's an ugly workaround for that test case.
