Thanks for the tip. The problem was spending 2 days to find that CDPATH was the problem. Since then I no longer have a problem. There are many ways to handle it. I can also start a subshell and unset CDPATH just for the make.
I am surprised it hasn't come up before.

Regardless of whether or not this behavior is counter to what Posix.2 currently says (and it probably is), you could have done: CDPATH=. make to achieve the desired effect.
