Whatever, I don't care about having such a pointless long discussion. You're using __FILE__ inappropriately, none of the documentation guarantees or implies that you can access __FILE__ as a real filesystem path. "Surely for relative paths" is your justification for your own broken behaviour.

And that's just for GCC, IBM and Microsoft both use the term "name of the file" which don't even suggest any sort of path.

You can either accept my one line patch suggestion, or fix it some other way. I'm not going to change the GCC patch, it does nothing wrong.

Not going to spend any more time on this.
