Ok, I figured out how I broke it; I used a relative path in SDKPATH. i.e.

SDKPATH=/path/to/sdk/../rel-sdk

So, first off; should this be supported? Secondly, the use-case I was 
trying to get at was to position an SDK relative to the build dir, i.e.

SDKPATH=${TOPDIR}/../sdk

Is there a better way to do this. I guess this problem could be solved 
somewhere in an SDK class by changing the relative path to an absolute 
path. Ideas?

Cheers,
Jack.
