Static library/object file path privacy

Hi,

I'm building a static library and one thing that I've noticed is that the library (.a file) contains the path(s) of the directory in which the various object files were built.

For privacy reasons I'd prefer to not have the absolute path of the Xcode project in the library. After looking at some libraries shipped by Apple, they usually contain something like:

> fromhost.c /private/var/tmp/tcp_wrappers/tcp_wrappers-19~541/tcp_wrappers

I don't know if that when Apple builds the libraries they does so in the /private/var/tmp directory for this purpose. Regardless, without moving my Xcode project to the /private/var/tmp directory and just building there..is there any way to accomplish the same with any Xcode configuration settings,  or gcc, libtool flags?

Thanks in advance,
