This breaks ccache testsuite and -fdebug-prefix-map behavior in directories
which are symlinks, see PR108464/ I can't see how the new behavior would be
correct in that case, user is asking to remap say /home/jakub/foobar2 to
some other path, but exactly /home/jakub/foobar2 appears in the debug info,
rather than the other path.
