In one part of the code, jtreg uses this value to configure the operating system specific library path environment variables (for example `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable on macos). The issue here is that when setting this value, the path that was provided to `-nativepath` isn't converted to an absolute path. That causes native library lookup failures when a test requiring those native libraries is run.
