tools build: Correct libsubcmd fixdep dependencies
All built targets need fixdep to be built first, before handling object dependencies [1]. We're missing one such dependency before the libsubcmd target. This resolves .cmd file generation issues such that the following sequence produces many fewer results: $ git clean -xfd tools/ $ make tools/objtool $ grep "cannot find fixdep" $(find tools/objtool -name '*.cmd') In particular, only a buggy tools/objtool/libsubcmd/.fixdep.o.cmd remains, due to circular dependencies of fixdep on itself. Such incomplete .cmd files don't usually cause a direct problem, since they're designed to fail "open", but they can cause some subtle problems that would otherwise be handled by proper fixdep'd dependency files. [2] [1] This problem is better described in commit abb26210a395 ("perf tools: Force fixdep compilation at the start of the build"). I don't apply its solution here, because additional recursive make can be a bit of overkill. [2] Example failure case: cp -arl linux-src linux-src2 cd linux-src2 make O=/path/to/out cd ../linux-src rm -rf ../linux-src2 make O=/path/to/out Previously, we'd see errors like: make[6]: *** No rule to make target '/path/to/linux-src2/tools/include/linux/compiler.h', needed by '/path/to/out/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/libsubcmd/exec-cmd.o'. Stop. Now, the properly-fixdep'd .cmd files will ignore a missing /path/to/linux-src2/...
