scripts: fix sysroot prefix dir

The sysroot prefix dir was broken in #4960f5d9f829 due to a mishap
when making the out-of-sysroot lib/ symlink: the './' was mistakenly
changed into a single '.' .

Although Jonathan suggested restoring the missing '/' to restore it to
normal operation, I prefered using an explicit pushd/popd to be extra
sure of the symlink location and target, along with a fix in the sysroot
relative directory calculation.
