Not sure about the question... the idea is to abolish vpath and rely
only on the path to the current Makefile.objs file.

So, e500.o in hw/ppc/Makefile.objs, after the addsuffix would compile to
hw/ppc/e500.o

e500.o in hw/ppc/Makefile.objs, before the addsuffix would compile to
hw/ppc/../e500.o aka hw/e500.o

e500.o in hw/Makefile.objs would compile to hw/e500.o

There is no conflict between hw/e500.o and hw/ppc/e500.o, but of course
if you specify hw/e500.o twice (one normally, one via hw/ppc/..) you get
duplicate definitions.
