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.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     3 
     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
