Olivier reported an issue this morning, that my commit was breaking 
the build of one of our external module:

make[5]: /path/to/ext-module//path/to/ext-module/Makefile: No such file or directory                                                                                                                      
make[5]: *** No rule to make target '/path/to/ext-module//path/to/ext-module/Makefile'.  Stop.                                                                                                            

The reason is that entries in $(MAKEFILE_LIST) can be absolute.

Marko.
