Ok, got it. This is for arm64.

make does not behave the same when you build a file or a directory.
Sometimes it is convenient, sometimes it is surprising.

On x86:
make -j7 drivers/soc/xilinx/zynqmp_power.o		--> fail
make -j7 drivers/soc/xilinx/				--> build nothing because I'm not on arm64


export ARCH=arm64
./make.cross -j7 drivers/soc/xilinx/zynqmp_power.o	--> OK

Thanks for the pointer.
