[Cmake] CMake and amd (NFS automounter)

[Amitha Perera]

Essentially, yes. It really doesn't affect anything when all disks are
NFS mounted. However, my data sits on local disk, and amd is
configured so that on a remote machine, my disk is NFS mounted, but on
my machine, the "NFS mount" is actually just a symlink (for
efficiency). On my machine, then, cmake hardcodes the path on my local
disk, which is invalid elsewhere on the network.

In some sense, it is a RPI specific problem. In another sense, it is
bigger, in that whenever an amd installation decides to use symlinks
on the local machine (as they should), then executing on that machine
will code in machine specific paths.

Interestingly, bash somewhat understands the issue, and pwd outputs
the correct thing. /bin/sh and getcwd() don't.
