Nowadays PTXdist can handle relative and absolute links. We had relative
symlinks for a long time, because it made manipulating and checking the
nfsroot (platform-<plat>/root) easier. Now we have a 'ptxdist setup' option
to convert all absolute symlinks into relative symlinks in nfsroot only.

So just use what makes more sense. In this case I'd say, use absolute
symlinks.
