Reviewed-by: Michael Tokarev <m...@tls.msk.ru> This keeps target-specific object variables working, too. But seriously, guys, this complexity/trickery is just insane. We don't have that many objects in our tree, maybe, just maybe, it will be better to return back to our old idea where all objects are specified by their full path within source tree, like block/foo.o, instead of stripping the subdir part within a subdir and adding it back using this trickery? To my opinion, the amount of work required to maintain the trickery, and the fact that no one, even Fam, actually understands how it works, way outperforms time/enegry needed to support flat, trickery-less, full-path object lists. I will gladly give some time to re-write the build system to make it subdir-ful trickery-less, and at the same time keep it bisectable, if the agreement will be to do that. Because, really, the current system is insane... Thanks, /mjt
