No, make can find 'c:\very-long-src-dir\..\very-long-build-dir\a', but not
'c:\very-long-src-dir\..\very-long-build-dir\very-long-filename'.

On the symptoms, it seems that the problem in my case would be solved by
normalizing (collapsing ..) earlier, but I'm not sure it's feasible to do
so (and it just gives us a few more characters to play with).
