Because those drivers ship generated files which they then overwrite,
which messes up source repositories. The generated files have been
deleted from the XFS source repository. They should regenerate when
required, but you need Perl to do so, and the existing makefiles do not
correctly handle parallel running in the scsi directory. Do not use
make -j if you need to regenerate more than one set of scsi firmware.
Plus there is a missing dependency in drivers/scsi/Makefile, although I
finally got Linus to accept the patch for that in 2.4.15.

All the problems are caused by a bad scsi/Makefile. Of course, this is
all fixed in kbuild 2.5.
