The objtool build is failing intermittently with a clean output tree:

    HOSTCC  /home/jpoimboe/tmp/a/tools/objtool/fixdep.o

The libsubcmd header files need to be installed before any of the
objtool files gets compiled, so objtool-in.o needs a dependency on
$(LIBSUBCMD).  I'll fold in the following fix:

diff --git a/tools/objtool/Makefile b/tools/objtool/Makefile
