Parsing make output is a use case I did not think of, so the knob seems
inevitable :-/.

That would be Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt

This is an ugly way to express the logic.

How about generated sources like asm-offsets.s or the lexer and parser
in scripts/kconfig, does kdevelop figure out where the files live? If
not, you might need to add

-objtree                := .
+ifeq ($(KBUILD_FULL_PATH),1)
+       objtree := $(CURDIR)
+else
+        objtree        := .
+endif

to use the full path also for the O= directory.
