I occasionally still use this. It's a bit more convenient when it does
work, but I have the impression it's not 100% reliable and sometimes
'make' on the top level doesn't do anything while 'make -C build/' finds
something to do. Though I'm not sure if it actually happens on upstream
or if it's a downstream problem.

This is another thing I haven't tested in a while, but for some reason,
some test cases only used to work for me when I gave them a binary like
x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64, but not with ./qemu-system-x86_64.
