Since commit 5f73e7d0386d ("kbuild: refactor cross-compiling
linux-headers package"), the linux-headers pacman package fails
to build when "O=" is set. The build system complains:

/mnt/chroot/linux/scripts/Makefile.build:41: mnt/chroots/linux-mainline/pacman/linux-upstream/pkg/linux-upstream-headers/usr//lib/modules/6.14.0-rc3-00350-g771dba31fffc/build/scripts/Makefile: No such file or directory

This is because the "srcroot" variable is set to "." and the
"build" variable is set to the absolute path. This makes the
"src" variables point to wrong directory.

Change the "build" variable to a relative path to "." to
fix build.

Looks good to me, but a nit.

This will introduce a new shellcheck warning:

  C2086 (info): Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.

Please keep the double-quotes around ${destdir}

"$(realpath --relative-base=. "${destdir}")"
