Please don't effectively revert
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/classes/relocatable.bbclass?id=a3f4e9ff55c7d9eba175e83eb6c99cf349a74432
The sstate relocation code creates loads of copies of files rather than
allowing us to hardlink them and is bad for performance. By making the
files relocatable, we don't have to do all the fixup handling in that
code and it is generally lower overhead on the system. I think I did
this to stop a lot of sstate objects needing relocations at all.
If there is a symlink issue, we should just make it skip those.
Cheers,
Richard
