The fixdep hostprog may be built multiple times during a single build.
Once during the configuration phase and later during the regular phase.
As only the regular build phase respects CONFIG_WERROR / W=e, the
compiler flags might change between the phases, leading to rebuilds.
Example, the rebuilds will happen twice on each invocation of the build:
$ make allyesconfig prepare
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/deleteme'
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
#
# No change to .config
#
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
DESCEND objtool
INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/deleteme'
Fix the compilation flags used for scripts/basic/ before
scripts/Makefile.warn is evaluated to stop CONFIG_WERROR / W=e
influencing the fixdep build to avoid the spurious rebuilds.
