This is a fix for the logic that prevents configure from creating
configurations in undesired directories. If the path to the source root
contains a symlink, the check got fooled and refused to create a
configuration anywhere. This is currently happening in REs nightly
builds of build-infra for solaris-sparc.

As usual, please remember to regenerate configure after applying the
patch and to also commit in jdk/make/closed when pushing.
