This will most likely work, yes. Thanks.

I would rather prefer to fix this properly by setting DEBUG_DIR in
config/Paths.mk.in from configure for the tools usage. This should
allow the path to be set from configure and thus avoid the need of
passing it from the command line when calling make. Do you think that
would solve your issues?

I can prepare a patch to do that.

Roger.
