Sometimes relative paths in GYP ldflags section is "off by one"

[sgjesse]

In platforms/stm/disco_fletch.gyp we have the following comment:

'ldflags': [
  '-specs=nosys.specs',
  '-specs=nano.specs',
  # TODO(340): Why does this not work???
  #'-T<(generated_path)/SW4STM32/configuration/STM32F746NGHx_FLASH.ld',
  # TODO(340): Why is this needed???
  '-T../../platforms/stm/disco_fletch/generated/SW4STM32/'
    'configuration/STM32F746NGHx_FLASH.ld'
],

The variable generated_path is ../../platforms/stm/disco_fletch/generated/, and works in other rules, but in ldflags an additional .. is added to the generated project.

You have to put a relative file name in a variable named something ending with "_dir" or "_file". See Pathname Relativization.

I cannot get pathname relativization to work for ldflags.
