Sorry, these are both correct and it's the warning which is bogus.

I've been thinking about a way to squelch the warning, but it's tricky; 
the trouble is that BUILD_SUBDIR and TARGET_SUBDIR are set to the same value 
if build=target.  

The commands are overridden, but that's just fine; the target rules 
(which come second) are a superset of the build rulss anyway.

Should I put a note about this somewhere (i.e. to say that this is 
perfectly normal?)

This could be squelched straightforwardly if the convention for 
BUILD_SUBDIR was changed, but this is invasive and may in fact be the 
wrong thing to do.  I'm trying to come up with a solution which handles
crossbacks (build=target!=host) cleanly.
