Subject: [BUGFIX PATCH] tools: Let O= makes handle a relative path with -C option

When I compiled tools/bootconfig from top directory with
-C option, the O= option didn't work correctly if I passed
a relative path.

  $ make O=./builddir/ -C tools/bootconfig/
  make: Entering directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/bootconfig'
  ../scripts/Makefile.include:4: *** O=./builddir/ does not exist.  Stop.
  make: Leaving directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/bootconfig'

The O= directory existence check failed because the check
script ran in the build target directory instead of the
directory where I ran the make command.

To fix that, once change directory to $(PWD) and check O=
directory, since the PWD is set to where the make command
runs.
