Since Kbuild runs in the objtree, __FILE__ can be a very long path
depending of $(srctree).
Commit 9da0763bdd82 ("kbuild: Use relative path when building in a
subdir of the source tree") made the situation better for cases where
objtree is a child of srctree. ($(srctree) is "..")
For other cases of out-of-tree build, filenames in WARN_ON() etc. are
still an absolute path. It also means the kernel image depends on
where it was built.
Here, the idea is to redefine __FILE__ as the relative path from
$(srctree), but doing so causes a compiler warning:
warning: "__FILE__" redefined [-Wbuiltin-macro-redefined]
The option -Wno-builtin-macro-redefined can suppress it, but it is
only recognized by GCC 4.4 or newer. Re-define __FILE__ only when
possible.
Please note __FILE__ is always an absolute path for external modules.
