Thanks for fixing this.  I always do my builds in subfolders as well.  It is 
handy to have multiple builds (debug, opt, profiled) that all use a single 
source tree.

I don't like to hijack this issue but could we get some of the build bots to do 
their builds in a subfolder?  I don't know who would be able to make that 
change.  It would be good to smoke out these kinds of problems early.  
Otherwise wierdo's like gps and I don't notice them until later.

If we don't keep this working, we should just rip the ability to do builds 
outside of the source tree out of the Makefile.  There is no point to 
maintaining the extra complication if it doesn't actually work.  With git 
shallow clones, I could live with that.  However, it seems a shame to lose it 
when it basically currently works fine.
