llvm dev - Mar 2014 - [LLVMdev] Some love for bugpoint.

Hey folks,

  I am not sure who owns bugpoint, but twice now we have had to apply this patch
manual.  I don’t have commit access, so, help submitting this would be awesome.

I don't think anyone owns it :-(

I am happy to apply the patch, but what was the issue?

Without this patch, bugpoint incorrectly fails when reducing a backend
miscomputation in llc, for example, it will complain that,

Error running tool:
clang: error: no such file or directory:
'.//var/folders/r8/kwmvy7l92zq9f2rn40xvlyh40000gn/T/bugpoint.safe-841f6d.bc-0231c4d.llc.s-38bf5c1.dylib'

That “./“ prepended to the absolute path is eliminated with this patch.
