The 'modules:' line in drivers/sound/Makefile uses `pwd` to generate the modules link. This builds a link with an absolute path, all the other links in $(TOPDIR)/modules are relative, they are built with scripts/pathdown.sh.
The explicit link causes a problem if you rename TOPDIR between make modules and make modules_install, say testing multiple versions of Linux and you want to make sure you have the right set of modules installed. Either sound.o is not installed or you get a sound.o from another TOPDIR entirely.
