[PATCH] Makefile: Make checkstack work with O= builds

[PATCH] Makefile: Make checkstack work with O= builds

[Stephen Boyd]

The vmlinux doesn't always live in the same directory as the
source files and so 'make O=obj checkstack' fails with a missing
vmlinux file. Fix checkstack so that this is possible.

It would also be nice if this depended on vmlinux and modules being built
already but I couldn't figure that part out.

It works for me even without your patch. With O=<dir>, a second make is
run in <dir>, so $(objtree) is equivalent to . for the top-level
Makefile. Can you post the exact command your run and the error message
you get?

Thanks,
