Hi,

I wrote the following helper script for a similar use-case. Use it as a
proxy for your build command. Should be something like:
remote_build.commands = ssh server "cd $$REMOTE_BUILD_DIR &&
./translate_err.sh \"$$PWD\" make"

------

#!/bin/sh

set -o pipefail

normalize()
{
  if [ "x$WINDOWS" = "x1" ]; then
    sed "s|/|\\\\|g"
  else
    cat
  fi
}

# Runs $2 (e.g. ./build.sh), and translates paths in stderr from local to
remote (given by $1) path
if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
echo "usage: $0 <local_path> <build_script> [arguments]"
exit 1
fi

# Change if script is executed inside a subdirectory
LOCAL="$PWD"
# Windows -> revert backslashes
if echo $1 | grep -q '^.:'; then
  WINDOWS=1
  REMOTE="$(echo "$1" | sed 's|\\|/|g')"
else
  REMOTE="$1"
fi
shift
RUN="$1"
shift
exec 3>&1
# redirect stderr to stdout and stdout to 3, then restore stdout to stderr
$RUN "$@" 2>&1 1>&3 | sed "s|$LOCAL|$REMOTE|g" | normalize 1>&2
