Thanks,

That explains a lot of things.

I believe this scheme cannot detect at all any relative path that is 
encoded in the binary itself, which is the problem in our case.
The binary implicitly supposes that it is running inside the same folder 
as in the one of the source tree.

Wouldn't it be possible to mount a volume to those devices instead of 
copying? Or to copy the full source tree (maybe without the build folder)?

Best,
Raffi
