Use the absolute path to the root .d file instead.

It is certainly possible that the build result will depend on the current directory. For example, if the root file imports other modules, these will be sought in the current directory first. However, this is an unlikely use case, and can be simulated using e.g. --force or -I%CD%.

On the other hand, having your script be rebuilt every time it is run from a different directory is an unnecessary waste of time and disk space.
