I don't understand why the usr/share, resp share portion of this can't be folded into the definition of BUILDROOT. We're fully in control of that path both in the Makefile and in PackageCompiler. That seems like the right place for this complexity.

I tried to make a "local" fix.
I don't think it can be folded into BUILDROOT because you then hit the same thing where you don't know the path to base based on BUILDROOT.
I think this shouldn't use BUILDROOT at all but instead the "datadir":

which could be passed in as an additional argument?

Well, there's two options I think. One is to DATAROOTDIR that instead of BUILDROOT, since currently, I believe we always link DATAROOTDIR/julia/base to BUILDROOT/base, so that was what I meant above. However, on second thought, I'm not convinced that that's right at all. Various downstream packages expect the full base sources to be available in usr/share, which I imagine is broken right now for an out of tree build. That's out of the scope of this PR, but if you want to use two arguments to be robust for potential rearrangement there, I think that's fine.

With the latest commit I can build a sysimage on both a release and source with JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl#1002

This will also need updating, or better yet making more robust to these kind of changes julia/stdlib/Profile/src/Profile.jl Line 540 in 4ed8814 |
#56409 broke PackageCompiler (or other use cases where you want to compile a new core compiler from a release build) since it hardcoded the relative path
../usr/from Base to theshareddirectory but this is not true in releases where it is at...The workaround here is ugly but I couldn't come up with anything better to compute that relative path based only on
BUILDROOT. Maybe it can work as a nerd snipe for someone to improve it.
