libroot_build.so broken cross-compiling from Linux

[spock@…]

The standard build (jam -q haiku-image) fails with:

.. SetType1 generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/add-ons/kernel/bus_managers/pci/pci Error: "generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/add-ons/kernel/bus_managers/pci/pci": No such file or directory.

when the code tree is located on a partition other than / (eg. /devel/os/haiku, /devel being a reiserfs filesystem). I tracked this problem down a little bit and found out that normalize_dir_path() called from add_dir_path() in src/build/libroot/fs.cpp fails to build an absolute path. When the code tree is moved to /, it works just fine.

The "break" when encountering "." or ".." definitely doesn't look right. The solution for mount points looks interesting. I'll look into that.

Patch for fs.cpp which fixes the bug

I get the same effects on Linux now (checked out buildtools and haiku today, 2007-08-22): ... AddTargetVariableToScript1 generated/haiku.image-init-vars InitScript1 generated/haiku.image-make-dirs CreateContainerMakeDirectoriesScript1 generated/haiku.image-make-dirs ResComp1 generated/objects/haiku/x86/common/home-config-settings-printers-preview.rsrc rc: Error! unknown error: 80006003 (No such file or directory)

My haiku dir is at /local/haiku and my /local differs from / like this: /dev/sda3 6.3G 3.6G 2.5G 60% / /dev/hda1 151G 12G 138G 8% /local

I can't move the haiku stuff to /, and the "fix" that went in two years ago doesn't solve it for me.
