Resuming a thread from last month -- As I said, it does not enforce the
ordering. So it's not as bullet-proof as your patch, but it works on all
architectures. I'm thinking about adding the patch to kbuild.git for
3.17. But if you want to fix the ordering as well, feel free to change
the __build_one_by_one rule to do this.

Thanks,
