just to make sure there's nothing subtle going on underneath, i'm
assuming that any uses of "$(TOPDIR)" throughout the tree should
normally be replaced with either "$(src)" or "$(obj)" depending on
whether the reference should be to the source or build directory.

  from the top-level Makefile:

TOPDIR          := $(srctree)

  now, given, say, arch/frv/boot/Makefile:

...
SYSTEM  =$(TOPDIR)/$(LINUX)
...
install: $(CONFIGURE) Image
        sh ./install.sh $(KERNELRELEASE) Image $(TOPDIR)/System.map 
"$(INSTALL_PATH)"
...

  from that, i would conclude that, if you're building for FRV, you
simply can't build in a different directory from the source directory,
since the FRV makefile doesn't support that.

  is that about right?
