Subject: [PATCH] scripts/gdb: Use $(abspath ...) instead of $(shell cd ... && pwd)

From: Thierry Reding <[email protected]>

Avoid forking off a shell to resolve the absolute path of the output
directory when make's builtin $(abspath ...) function will do an
adequate job.

You might want to remove this, if it's not too late yet. I posted
another similar thread and people objected to it because it requires
GNU make 3.81, whereas the kernel build process officially still
supports 3.80.

Still in my queue only.

Hmm, I scanned the kernel for this pattern before, and there were
hits... ah, only in tools/, not in the main build. OK, will drop again.
