This is related to the the differences in in-tree and out-of-tree builds in QEMU. For simplification, <BLD> means my build directory. Currently, by running a `make check-acceptance` one gets (in tests/acceptance/avocado_qemu/__init__.py): SRC_ROOT_DIR: <BLD>/tests/acceptance/avocado_qemu/../../.. This in itself is problematic, because after the parent directories are applied, one may be left not with a pointer to the build directory as intended, but with the location of the source tree (assuming they differ). Built binaries, such as qemu-img, are of course not there and can't be found. Given that a Python '__file__' will contain the absolute path to the file backing the module, say: __file__: <BLD>/tests/acceptance/avocado_qemu/__init__.py | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | A solution is to not "evaluate" the third parent dir (marked as 4 here) because that ends up following the "tests" directory symlink to the source tree. In fact, there's no need to keep or evaluate any of the parent directories, we can just drop the rightmost 4 components, and we'll keep a stable reference to the build directory (with no symlink being followed). This works for either a dedicated build directory or also a combined source and build tree.
