Thanks for that. But actually that is not something I have seen or can explain. Here it is reading the DT at the start and somehow failing in the check. That DT is created by the U-Boot build system. Is it possible that your system has its own libfdt installed?
As it happened, the pylibfdt changes have been applied upstream today, so I'll prepare a patch to sync U-Boot up with that. Hopefully that will resolve any issues, but I am not sure.
I have the standard Ubuntu 16.04 packages installed, but no non-standard local builds:
device-tree-compiler 1.4.0+dfsg-2 libfdt1:amd64 1.4.0+dfsg-2
I suspect this is a missing dependency in the makefiles, or perhaps some process isn't waiting for its child to exit. The code that's finding the bad FDT magic appears to be reading from a file that hasn't yet been written yet:
[pid 26251] execve("../tools/binman/binman", ["../tools/binman/binman", "-d", "u-boot.dtb", "-O", ".", "-I", ".", "-I", "../board/nvidia/beaver", "spl/u-boot-spl"], [/* 158 vars */] <unfinished ...>

Specifically, this Makefile rule:
u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin u-boot-tegra.bin u-boot-nodtb-tegra.bin: \ spl/u-boot-spl u-boot.bin FORCE $(call if_changed,binman)
runs that same binman invocation for all 3 target binaries separately and in parallel, and tools/binman/control.py:Binman() uses the same hard-coded filename for an output (or temporary?) file in each invocation. I'm not sure if we can simply replace:
fname = tools.GetOutputFilename('u-boot-out.dtb')
with a call to tempfile.mkstemp() or similar?
Thanks very much for digging into this. I actually think that rule is wrong and needs to be fixed. I will take a look.
Irrespective of whether the Makefile rule is wrong, and whether we change it at all, I still think we should apply the patch I sent for binman ("binman: ensure temp filenames don't collide") to solve this, since that's a legitimate fix irrespective of the Makefile rule.
Just to close this out, we ended up applying this patch:
2547e91dc1 tegra: Indicate that binman makes all three output files
