I do not understand this patch.

In my understanding, this tool already provides
-d, --directory option, which is supposed to point to
the kbuild output directory, not a source directory.


This works except under tools/.

This is wrong.

result.group(2) returns the relative path to the output tree
instead of the source tree.
(or absolute path).


[Example of breakage]

$ make -j8 O=foo defconfig all
$ scripts/gen_compile_commands.py  -d .  -k foo
