If someone specifies a single target, mixed with O=, the following way:
hubble:~/tip/tools/perf> make O=/tmp/perf util/stat.o
BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
gcc -Wbad-function-cast -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wformat-security
-Wformat-y2k [...]
The build might even fail, if a target depends on other targets:
hubble:~/tip/tools/perf> make O=/tmp/perf perf.o
...
perf.c: In function ‘handle_options’:
perf.c:155:21: error: ‘PERF_HTML_PATH’ undeclared (first use in this
function)
The correct way to invoke such targets is:
hubble:~/tip/tools/perf> make O=/tmp/perf /tmp/perf/perf.o
BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
GEN /tmp/perf/common-cmds.h
CC /tmp/perf/perf.o
But that's unnecessary typing and it's also easy to mistakenly build into the
source directory.
To fix this remove the generic suffix rules and add redirection to $(OUTPUT)
for the most popular .o targets.
