Created an attachment (id=6198)
 --> (http://llvm.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=6198)
Patch to clang.

I tried to create a relocatable PCH as part of a project built on top of clang
but there were some problems - The PCH would always contain absolute paths
instead of relative ones, so it would fail when we tried to use it later. 

After some debugging, I noticed that the PCHGenerator constructor takes a
string pointer isysroot that is deleted before the PCHGenerator uses it (as a
pointer to a local variable is passed in), and thus a later comparison using it
fails. The Path::makeAbsolute() function in LLVM also fails to flip the back
slashes, which also breaks the same comparison.

The details are a bit sketchy as I worked on this a few weeks ago but didn't
get around to filing a bug until now. I have attached the patch that we made to
fix it for us though.
