rm trace.[ch]

Then try again.

The problem is that the auto-generated tracing files moved into
trace/generated-* but the Makefile and C compiler include paths still
pick up the old trace.[ch].

You probably built an older version of QEMU first in the same
directory.  The latest make distclean doesn't know about the old
trace.[ch] files.
