Zsh's build process has for a long time supported compiling the shell in
a separate tree parallel to the source. I use this, for example, to
build both a static and a dynamic-link version of the shell from the
same sources.
The change to use git-describe for ZSH_PATCHLEVEL broke such builds.
The following is not an ideal patch because make still fails to notice
when "cd $(sdir) && git ..." fails, and therefore happily builds a shell
with an empty-string $ZSH_PATCHLEVEL, but that can at least be unlikely.
