Could be a permission issue. Did you try to chmod 755 scripts/bin_size ?
Hmmm, diff does indeed not encode permissions, how should such cases be
usually handled?


A few more thoughts:

quiet_cmd_bzip2 = BZIP2 $@
cmd_bzip2 = (bzip2 -9 < $< ; $(size_append) $<) > $@

quiet_cmd_lzma = LZMA $@
cmd_lzma = (lzma -9 -c $< ; $(size_append) $<) >$@

These will produce stale files on failure. Using stdout in Makefiles is a bit tricky. You probably need something like:

(bzip2 -9 < $< && $(size_append) $<) > $@ || (rm -f $@ ; false)
