Right.  We don't want that.

Anything that depends on the location of the source file is a bad idea.
It will break if things get moved around, and perhaps nonobviously.
You could use <sysdeps/../nptl/foo.c> but it merits a comment about why
the more common and simple <nptl/foo.c> is not being used.


Thanks,
Roland
