Generally $(BUILD_DIR) == $(CURDIR), but that isn't necessarilly the

Not applied to trivial tree yet. I want to let Stefano, Stefan Weil,
or Anthony take a look too since we were all discussing these changes
yesterday.
While I think that the change is correct (certainly better than the
original patch), unfortunately still doesn't solve the problem
entirely.
Steps to repro, assuming "qemu" is the source tree and "temp" is the
empty build directory:
- cd qemu; ./configure; make
- cd ../temp; ./configure --source-path=../qemu; make
Result:
Makefile:9: config-devices.mak: No such file or directory
In order to fix the issue, we need to make sure that config-devices.mak
is relative to $(BUILD_DIR) in the Makefile.

[snip]
It's common to use either out-of-tree builds or in-tree builds,
but not to mix both variants with a common root directory.
I think QEMU should explicitly forbid that mixed scenario (like
other projects do).
Even with your fix there can remain problems with generated
header files. The mixed scenario creates unnecessary complexity.
Without the mixed scenario, your patch is not needed.
