If the target path contains a link with an absolute path (e.g.
/var/run -> /run), makedirs will target the wrong location. Resolve the
path first, then append DESTDIR again if needed.
Can you elaborate on this? os.makedirs should follow the symlinks before
actually creating the directory hierarchy, so I'm failing to see the problem
this patch is trying to address.
