When using make 4.4 the KBOUD_OUTPUT environment variable provided to
the linuxptp makefile is not utilized. The added patch will fix that
behavior.

+Subject: [Linuxptp-devel] [PATCH] makefile: use conditional assignment for KBUILD_OUTPUT
+
+Refer [1],from make 4.4, all variables that are marked as export will
+also be passed to the shell started by the shell function. use "=" will
+make KBUILD_OUTPUT always empty for shell function, use "?=" to make
+"export KBUILD_OUTPUT" in enrironment can work.
+
+[snip of 4.4 NEWS]
+* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
+   Previously makefile variables marked as export were not exported to commands
+   started by the $(shell ...) function.  Now, all exported variables are
+   exported to $(shell ...).
