Actually the warning doesn't happen on 325f7b0aaea6. The commit is only
problematic in combination with commit

	e2bad142bb3d ("kbuild: unexport abs_srctree and abs_objtree")

. This commit suggests to use $(abspath ) or $(realpath ) instead, but I
fail to apply this suggestion here.

Obviously

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index 5e09b53b4850..f73a73a125e0 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
@@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ __all:
 # prepare rule.
 
 this-makefile := $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))
-abs_srctree := $(realpath $(dir $(this-makefile)))
+export abs_srctree := $(realpath $(dir $(this-makefile)))
 abs_objtree := $(CURDIR)
 
 ifneq ($(sub_make_done),1)

would help.

Any ideas how to properly handle that? Would the export be ok?

Best regards
Uwe
