Kbuild conventionally uses $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd) idiom to get
the absolute path of the directory because GNU Make 3.80, the minimal
supported version at that time, did not support $(abspath ...) or
$(realpath ...).

Commit 37d69ee30808 ("docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81")
dropped the GNU Make 3.80 support, so we are now allowed to use those
make-builtin helpers.

This conversion will provide better portability without relying on
the pwd command or its location /bin/pwd.

I am intentionally using $(realpath ...) instead $(abspath ...) in
some places.  The difference between the two is $(realpath ...)
returns an empty string if the given path does not exist.  It is
convenient in places where we need to error-out if the makefile fails
to create an output directory.

Yup.

Three month ago, I sent a reminder to you,
but I did not get a response.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/18/1370




This time, Bjorn sent a patch to replace /bin/pwd with pwd.

I asked him to use $(abspath ...) / $(realpath ...),
but he did not like to do it.

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9859591/


So, I am doing it by myself.
