Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] tools build: Correct libsubcmd fixdep dependencies
All built targets need fixdep to be built first, before handling object
dependencies [1]. We're missing one such dependency before the libsubcmd
target.
This resolves .cmd file generation issues such that the following
sequence produces many fewer results:
$ git clean -xfd tools/
$ make tools/objtool
$ grep "cannot find fixdep" $(find tools/objtool -name '*.cmd')
In particular, only a buggy tools/objtool/libsubcmd/.fixdep.o.cmd
remains, due to circular dependencies of fixdep on itself.
Such incomplete .cmd files don't usually cause a direct problem, since
they're designed to fail "open", but they can cause some subtle problems
that would otherwise be handled by proper fixdep'd dependency files.
[1] This problem is better described in commit abb26210a395 ("perf
tools: Force fixdep compilation at the start of the build"). I don't
apply its solution here, because additional recursive make can be a bit
of overkill.
