Yes, it was rather obtuse.  Sorry 'bout that.  I've created a new patch
that has the checking and setting of the path separated better and also
uses asprintf() (thanks for the reminder that it is available).

I disagree.  I think the current trimming is the right way to go because
distcc uses the same algorith for its path munging (it trims off the
entire start of the path up through its masquerade dir).

Yeah.  I'll look into how to write test cases soon.  Here's just the
updated code for now:
