This enables building LKL outside of source tree.

mkdir /tmp/lkl_out
OUTPUT=/tmp/lkl_out make -C tools/lkl -j32

thanks @rodionov for the patch.

I was wondering if we can use O= variable to the command line instead of OUTPUT=, which is the standard way of kbuild to specify the output directory, and I thought LKL also follows this way.

wish to ask @tavip for the initial design.

It looks like OUTPUT was introduced a long time ago in 9bf4b14. I am OK leaving as it is for this fix, we could rename it to O in a subsequent PR.

Oooh, yes, that was me...

without this patch, make -C tools/lkl O=somewhere (not OUTPUT=) failed and with this patch the issue fixes.
I think we can merge this.
