$(CURDIR) question

Hi all,

As far as I've read $(CURDIR) will return current directory. Now the problem I
have are symlinks. I have a build environment for multiple architectures and the
object directories are symlinks to real directories. Whenever I change to the
symlink, $(CURDIR) returns a real directory name insted of symbolic directory.

/mydir/code/directory/_architecture -> /objects/directory/architecture

Whenever I do

$(MAKE) -C /mydir/code/directory/_architecture -f /code/directory/Makefile

then the $(CURDIR) returns /objects/directory/architecture.

I know I could store the value before changing into the _architecture directory
and subst the whole thing, but I'm really asking about a $(CURDIR) brother that
would return a symlink instead of the REAL directory ? It would procduce much
cleaner Makefiles etc. Is there such thing already or shall I call it a new
feature ?

After the build process is done, I'm planning to open it for everyone so
there'll be the end of build process nightmares - I hope.

If you have any recomendations, feel free to share them with me.

NOTE: since I'm not on the list, please CC me when replying.

Thanks and let's keep the GNU power going.
