This is normal for normal port builds, since we clean up the build
directory after installing something, but paths in debug symbols reference
the build directory because that's all they know about while being built.
Often you don't actually need this information, but if you do then you will
need to reinstall the port with -k (sudo port -kN upgrade --force ...) to
keep it from cleaning up the work directory after installation.
