The out-of-tree build fails because the Makefiles in question depend on
source files of another directory but do not explicitly mkdir that
directory.

As a matter of fact, other Makefiles under board/*/ directory that refer
to source files under another directory explicitly call mkdir.

This patch adds explicit mkdir's to the Makefiles in question, and
verifies that out-of-tree build is working.

We should actually fix this by making the other directory build a
library and then include the library in this Makefile.  I had a
reminder to get back to this but haven't yet.

Thanks,

Hi Anton,

Thanks for comments. Replied below.

I find that Makefiles that call mkdir are those depend on a
board/*/common/ directory which is shared among board variants (with a
couple of exceptions). I guess the reason why none of boards
implemented your proposal is because it involves changes to the
top-level Makefile. The top-level Makefile cherry-picks the libraries,
and the (only?) board-dependent library is "LIBBOARD =
board/$(BOARDDIR)/lib$(BOARD).o". And I guess implementing your
proposal means we have to add a LIBBOARD_COMMON to the top-level
Makefile. I am not sure whether adding a board-common library to the
top-level Makefile is possible. If it is possible, maybe we could
start from this patch. What do you think?

I'm not sure what the accepted path is to add new libraries.  Albert
had indicated in a previous thread for this patch that it should be
done using the library approach.  I haven't had time to look into the
actual implementation of that approach however.
