Currently I don't intend to fix these cycles. Sorry, but I'm unable to
fix the world and instead I try to fix stuff (including writing bug
reports) according to my very limited resources. Maybe I will try to
debug kmod/depmod with some memory checkers, but I thought it makes
sense to ask people with more knowledge about depmod before wasting time.

I've used it on 4.2.1. It fails on an ARM box as well as on a x86_64
Fedora 21 system using a cross-compiler.
Here are the steps to reproduce on a x86 system:
cp -ar linux.git /tmp
cd /tmp/linux.git
make clean
git checkout -b depmod_bug v4.2.1
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- make multi_v7_defconfig
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- make allmodconfig
# the following two steps will need quiet some time
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- make -j4 zImage modules
ARCH=arm INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- make -j4
modules_install
(...)
