This is feature request:
Currently the option

       --file-line-error

reference:
http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/pdflatex1.html

Shows the file name when an error occurs. But this only shows
the file name and not the full path of the file.

In building a large source tree using recursive make, where
many file names can be the same but in different folders
(for example index.tex, etc..) having the complete full path
of the file printed will be much more useful to locate the
file than just the short file name.

I am using texlive 2012.

thank you,
