Hmm...that's clever.  Actually, I wonder that this would only take
care of half the issue: bitbake finding the paths to the build system.
 If someone put a symbolic link inside the directory (like I tried to
two weeks ago with my tmp directory *sigh*), I'm guessing bitbake
would still stumble over finding the sysroots properly. To fix, it
also should be using realpath (or rather os.oath.abspath()) I guess.
