You can keep the code in scripts/gdb/..., just move it out of $(always)
and have the toplevel Kbuild file call something like

  $(MAKE) $(obj)=scripts/gdb/linux build_constants

If you do not need the generated headers, this might be the least evil.
We already have the COMPILE_OFFSETS and __GENERATING_BOUNDS_H defines
for a similar purpose.
