+Subject: [PATCH] plugins: Avoid absolute buildpaths in binaries
+
+plugins seems to add CC to the plugins shared objects via compiler
+cmdline which ends up in real code. Therefore scrub buildpaths from CC
+and CFLAGS before passing them to plugin's build.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/-/merge_requests/30]
