That is the path you're going down, now that it's fixed. That's the path where
KBUILD_DEFCONFIG is a real file, ie. the old behaviour.

I'm not sure why it doesn't have a $(srctree) there, but it's never had one.

It looks like it eventually boils down to zconf_fopen() which looks for the
file in both .  and $(srctree).

So I think we could add a $(srctree) there, it would be more obvious and not
rely on the zconf_fopen() behaviour, but I'd rather leave it as is and let
Michal do that as a cleanup later.

cheers
