Bug#1105675: syslinux: FTBFS with make --shuffle=reverse: elf_module.c:315:1: fatal error: opening dependency file sys/module/.elf_module.o.d: No such file or directory

Hi,

GNU Make now has a --shuffle option that simulates non-deterministic ordering
of target prerequisites. See
https://trofi.github.io/posts/238-new-make-shuffle-mode.html and also previous
work in Debian by Santiago Vila:
https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/make-shuffle/

This package fails to build with make --shuffle=reverse.
This is likely to be caused by a missing dependency in
debian/rules or an upstream Makefile.
