The only logic that can work is to test MAKESYSPATH and respect it if it is defined, and use the relative path if not (since we don’t require MAKESYSPATH to be defined to do a out-of-tree module build, and could be built on a system that isn’t running the latest current).

That’s not really a supported configuration. Using JIRA to force it is rather an annoying use of JIRA since it makes making JIRA happy hard to test and outside the normal work flow. This will cause pain in the future, and I also object to my changes being characterized as “wrong” when such a non-standard setup has never been explicitly supported, required or part of anybody’s normal workflow. Grump.

I’ve prepared a compromise commit, but I’m not happy about it, and think it is a horribly ugly kludge. But I can think of no other ways to keep both use cases working.
