The reason is clear: XEN_ROOT is set to a *relative* path. And when make is

Well it's not clear to me. In my tests, including another Makefile does not
change the working directory, only recursive make with -C specified does
that. That seems logical -- pulling in standard rules containing wildcard
globs would otherwise have unpredictable results, if the wildcards were
evaluated in the directory of the included Makefile.
In your case, if Config.mk was getting run with incorrect relative XEN_ROOT,
how would the earlier include lines in that file work? You are getting an
error on '-include $(XEN_ROOT)/.config', but there are earlier (and
unconditional!) include lines in Config.mk that also reference XEN_ROOT. I
suppose they must be working.
So I think something is weird in your environment, or your make is broken.
However in this one specific failure case I can avoid redefining XEN_ROOT
outside xen/Makefile, since all hypervisor builds start at that Makefile. So
you can see whether c/s 23048 in xen-unstable staging fixes your build. I
applied it as it happens to be a teeny tiny cleanup as well.
We are both right :-)
I created /.config with:
$(warning /.config: $(MAKEFILE_LIST))
and got the following with "make tools":
make -C tools install
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/xen-unstable.hg/tools'
make[2]: Entering directory `/root/xen-unstable.hg/tools'
make -C check install
make[3]: Entering directory `/root/xen-unstable.hg/tools/check'
../../.config:1: /.config: Makefile ../../tools/Rules.mk ../../Config.mk
../../config/Linux.mk ../../config/StdGNU.mk ../../config/x86_64.mk
/usr/include/../../.config
So the problem is not changing the working directory, but implicit directory
search. $(XEN_ROOT)/.config expands as ../../.config and this file was not
found, so make searches in /usr/include, as the file path is relative. And
/usr/include/../../.config results as /.config :-(
The problem is still the relative XEN_ROOT specification.
Or the missing .config under XEN_ROOT, so creating this file solves my
problem. :-)
