For preciseness, please rephrase it to something like this:

 running the scripts_gdb target on a build directory located
 directly under the source tree (e.g., O=builddir).






O=foo/builddir does not cause this issue because
$(src) is already an absolute path.

This issue occurs only when the output directory is
a direct subdirectory of the source tree, in other words,
srctree is '..'
