You have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, right?
This is a known problem: the lack of sub-second resolution in
file modificaton times causes 'make dep' to sometimes fail to
build a correct <linux/modversions.h> file. You're not the first
to be bitten by this bug.

Try the patch below and let us know if it fixes the problem for you.
