Thanks.

But this does not seem to reproduce for me (note: I never build
profile-anything myself so I may not be seeing the error even there
is---the only thing I checked was the lack of make errors).

We did have changes to profile-feedback build during this round:

    $ git shortlog 3b3b61c^..3b3b61c^2
    Andi Kleen (4):
          Use BASIC_FLAGS for profile feedback
          Don't define away __attribute__ on gcc
          Run the perf test suite for profile feedback too
          Fix profile feedback with -jN and add profile-fast

I admit I didn't try -jN, and if there are leaky dependencies in the
last patch, it may explain the symptom.
