Uh, use full paths for all the files in your makefile?

make --print-data-base should reflect the paths that make is actually
using, which should match the patch in the makefile(s).  To do
otherwise is to mislead the viewer about what make is doing, IMO.

If you're already parsing the --print-data-base output, why can't your
parser handle this by doing whatever canonification that it requires?
