Possible flaw in C::B build system

I think I found a flaw in Code::Blocks build system.

While trying to fix a recent bug about relative file paths found in cbp2make, I was playing around with a test dummy project supplied by the reporter. After reproducing the bug the next thing I tried is checking how C::B is compiling this project and I found that it puts all object files for sources in upper directories to the same "root" object directory. But what if a project is big and there are few files with different content, but with just the same file names? I added another .cpp file to the project with the same name to another directory. When at least one of such files is higher in directory tree and is referenced by a relative path, C::B fails to build the project, but, if both files are not above the project file (same level or below) then everything works perfectly.

Aside from telling that one should not create such projects intentionally I would suggest to make corrections to C::B build system. I would try fix this by replacing ".." in relative paths with something like underscores as an easiest way to put mistakenly interfering files apart in object files' directory.

What do C::B devs think about this problem?
