I have a tree with relative symlinks. all-cfg.texi in the source tree
is
# ls -l /export/gnu/src/gdb/gdb/gdb/doc/all-cfg.texi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hjl hjl 50 May 9 09:58 /export/gnu/src/gdb/gdb/gdb/doc/all-cfg.texi -> ../../../../../import/gdb/src/gdb/doc/all-cfg.texi
Since my build dir != source dir,
../../../../../import/gdb/src/gdb/doc/all-cfg.texi
doesn't exist in my build dir.
