Since commit
13b25489b6f8 ("kbuild: change working directory to external
module directory with M="), the Debian package build fails if a relative
path is specified with the O= option.
$ make O=build bindeb-pkg
[ snip ]
dpkg-deb: building package 'linux-image-6.13.0-rc1' in '../linux-image-6.13.0-rc1_6.13.0-rc1-6_amd64.deb'.
Rebuilding host programs with x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc...
make[6]: Entering directory '/home/masahiro/linux/build'
/home/masahiro/linux/Makefile:190: *** specified kernel directory "build" does not exist. Stop.
This occurs because the sub_make_done flag is cleared, even though the
working directory is already in the output directory.
Passing KBUILD_OUTPUT=. resolves the issue.
