That was my original question; is it possible to specify relative paths with xbuild.

You have already helped me; you tested the build as an unprivileged user and reported the result. Now I know that the errors I'm getting are specific to my environment. I'm not asking for someone to replicate the issue on an Android device. All I want to know is the answer to the original question that I posted.
