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.
