[PATCH 1/2] Try both make_relative_prefix{,ignore_links} for relocatability


Hi.

I have a use-case where I need relocatability in a tree of symlinks.

The fix is straightforward enough.
The testcase may need some thought.
It does a "make install" into the testsuite subdir,
and then sets up the necessary conditions to properly test
make_relative_prefix{,ignore_links}.

The test runs fast enough, that's not the issue.
Just dunno how people will feel about doing a "make install"
in a testcase.
OTOH, this is what we need to test: the behaviour of the installed gdb.

The test is contingent on whether the user configured the tree
in a relocatable way. The test won't fail, but I'm guessing
re-running configure/make for this test is a bit too much,
whereas what's here is a reasonable compromise.

1/2 is the patch
2/2 is the testcase
