This would mean that if someone tried to put multiple rootfs directories
in the same subdirectory, they could clobber each other's pseudo_state
data, correct? Putting multiple rootfs directories in the same subdir is
a common use case already, I don't think we could break that.
If you appended the top-level rootfs directory name to ../pseudo_state,
e.g, ../pseudo_state_<dirname>, that would keep the pseudo_state
directories separate and make it fairly obvious what rootfs they
belonged to.
Also, neither of these schemes would support having $target_sysroot
directly under / (though I'm not sure why someone would do that).
