Because when you call make with -C it adds a implicit -w , which means:
  -w, --print-directory       Print the current directory.

Yes, because that suppresses the implicit -w.


The patch works if you're standing in your "linux" build-dir to begin
with.

We can use --no-print-directory if you would like to remove the
implicit -w, just, but thats a gnu-make flag, but who uses something
else nowadays?
