OK. I ended up with an odd-looking arch/um/sys-x86_64/util/Makefile:

# Copyright 2003 - 2004 Pathscale, Inc
# Released under the GPL

hostprogs-y := mk_sc mk_thread
always := $(hostprogs-y)

HOSTCFLAGS_mk_thread.o := -I$(objtree)/arch/um

Is mk_sc still supposed to be in there?

I just "fixed" things. I do it all the time.
