Yes I thought about it but did not know where to start.
I guess that would be bitbake which has to quickly remove the trailing
space just after parsing
in TMPDIR before it gets expanded into other parts of metadata. would
it be OK for bitbake to treat TMPDIR special ? or may be bitbake
should just get rid of more than one slashes in dir paths as a whole.
when concatenating two paths it should merge the slashes may be.
