I would wager, in fact, that the relative vs. absolute paths is the real
problem and that whether or not OBJDIR is a subdirectory of SRCDIR is a
red herring. I bet it would work or not work the same if you used a
relative path to an OBJDIR outside of SRCDIR as well.
In any event, gcc 2.95.3 built fine using an OBJDIR inside SRCDIR
specified with a relative path. I don't really care if this changes -- I
can always change my build procedure and only do it that way because it's
convenient and means I can rm -rf the whole thing when I'm done -- but it
did used to work.
