Tweaking the pathname for __FILE__

For example, if multiple people may be building software in different working directories, you end up with binaries that have lots of differences in them that obscure "real" changes.  Or it may be that rebuilding "the bits we had back in SVN rev 12345" is made harder this way, which can hurt debugging.

__FILE__ expands to the file name you pass to gcc, so if you don't want
a full path don't pass a full path.
