I believe that the following should (finally) solve this issue: [ "${ksym_wl}" != "${ksym_wl#/}" ] || ksym_wl="$abs_srctree/$ksym_wl" The above seems to work with bash, zsh, dash, posh and, IIUC, complies with https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html. I'll try other shells and stare at the doc some more, but if there is a preferred pattern in the kernel I'm happy to change it. Thanks, Quentin
