Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: support of new KBUILD_FULL_PATH


The commit 9da0763bdd82572be243fcf5161734f11568960f

	kbuild: Use relative path when building in a subdir of the source tree

	When doing make O=<subdir>, use '..' to refer to the source tree. This
	allows for more readable compiler messages, and, more importantly, it
	sets the VPATH to '..', so filenames in WARN_ON() etc. will be shorter.

	Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@...nborg.org>
	Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@...e.cz>

Broke IDEs and other tools which analyze the make output.
Introduce a new KBUILD_FULL_PATH switch to Makefile that will revert
to the old output if KBUILD_FULL_PATH=1 is specified.
The default is KBUILD_FULL_PATH=0

+KBUILD_FULL_PATH
+--------------------------------------------------
+Since Linux v3.16-rc1 the Kernel build system prefers to use
+relative paths when supplying file-paths to gcc and other
+tools. This will break IDEs and other environments that would
+parse the gcc output to find files and lines.
+Use KBUILD_FULL_PATH=1 on make command line to revert to old
