 Try 'touch O/.config; make external-deps'.

 You probably did something like:

make O=O foo_defconfig
make O=O external-deps

 After foo_defconfig, .config is more recent than auto.conf so silentoldconfig
is run, and that one depends on the dependency-less outputmakefile target.
Really silly inheritance from the kernel's kconfig infra.
