After the blamed commit, running a out-of-tree build for ynltool fails : # make -C tools/net/ynl/ynltool O=/tmp/o1 make: Entering directory 'tools/net/ynl/ynltool' make: *** No rule to make target '/tmp/o1/json_writer.o', needed by '/tmp/o1/ynltool'. Stop.
ynltool's Makefile correctly accounts for $(OUTPUT) to get the list of object files to generate : OBJS := $(patsubst %.c,$(OUTPUT)%.o,$(SRCS)) but it never actually set $(OUTPUT) before the blamed commit, meaning that out-of-tree buils of ynltool were always actually in-tree. Now, the O= parameter is correctly accounted for, and the %o: %c rule fails. Let's update the %o: %c rule to also use $(OUTPUT).
