Olivier reported an issue this morning, that my commit was breaking=20
the build of one of our external module:

make[5]: /path/to/ext-module//path/to/ext-module/Makefile: No such file or =
directory                                                                  =
                                                   =20
make[5]: *** No rule to make target '/path/to/ext-module//path/to/ext-modul=
e/Makefile'.  Stop.                                                        =
                                                   =20

The reason is that entries in $(MAKEFILE_LIST) can be absolute.

Marko.
