It's possible that PWD is already set to something which isn't
the full path of the current working directory. Let's make sure
it is.

I think we should rather use $(CURDIR) in Makefiles instead, since this is 
the official way that GNU Make handles the current working directory.

By the way, is this cscope thing also supposed to work in out-of-tree builds?

Agreed. I'll send a v2.

I personally don't care if it works from the out-of-tree build dir. I
generally want to be able to use git commands while browsing code too,
so I won't be running cscope anywhere but in a repo with a checked-out
working tree.

Thanks,
