Description
If you try to do any HPC using an absolute `--distdir`, `hpc` will fail to find the tix files. This is due to this bug: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10951
Cabal could work around this by relativizing the dist-dir with respect to the CWD, and then proceeding from there. This is what I had to do for the new test suite in #2998.
