When we build with O=objdir and objdir is directly below the source tree, $(srctree) becomes '..'. When a Makefile adds a CFLAGS option like -Ipath/to/headers and we are building with a separate object directory, Kbuild tries to add two -I options, one for the source tree and one for the object tree. An absolute path is treated as a special case, and don't add this one twice. This also normally catches -I$(srctree)/$(src) as $(srctree) usually is an absolute directory like /home/arnd/linux/. The combination of the two behaviors however results in an invalid path name to be included: we get both ../$(src) and ../../$(src), the latter one pointing outside of the source tree, usually to a nonexisting directory. Building with 'make W=1' makes this obvious: cc1: error: ../../arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/include: No such file or directory [-Werror=missing-include-dirs] This adds another special case, treating path names starting with ../ like those starting with / so we don't try to prefix that with $(srctree).
