Those paths are not handled relative to the compiler binary, they are 
handled relative to the current directory when calling the compiler. The 
compiler does not differentiate whether a parameter is passed in by the 
configuration or by command line argument, they are handled the same 
(except for macro expansion). So using relative paths in the 
configuration is more often than not a bad idea (TM).
