[Boost-build] [boost-build] <testing.launcher> specify absolute path to file

I am running my unit tests through valgrind using the *<testing.launcher>*
rule

For one particular test I want to use a local valgrind suppressions file.

As such, I've specified the file using the *--suppressions command* line
option

import testing ;

run
    [ glob *.cpp ]
: : : <testing.launcher>"valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes
--error-exitcode=1 --quiet *--suppressions=.valgrind.supp*"
: unit_test
;

This works fine when building from the same directory as the unit test
itself (ie: the same directory in which *.valgrind.supp* is located).

When building from elsewhere the file is not found, and valgrind exits with
an error.

How can I specify the full path (or relative path to where the build is
executing from)?

TIA
