Duplicated /root/stage in path
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft 7.1.3 incorrectly constructs staging paths, duplicating /root/stage and causing override-stage strip failures. The report remains open with zero comments and over three years of inactivity, requiring triage and assignment.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: This issue is over 3.5 years old with zero maintainer interaction and no labels. Snapcraft has undergone major architectural and configuration changes since v7.1.3, making this specific environment variable and path bug obsolete and untestable on current versions. It should be closed as stale due to the age of the affected version and clear irrelevance to the active codebase.

Issue body
I see a strange behavior in Snapcraft 7.1.3 when building the attached snapcraft.yaml.

<<< Execution <<<
As far as I understand, either /root/stage/root/stage is a wrong place to stage that file, or "$SNAPCRAFT_STAGE" is wrong, since the error comes from
strip "$SNAPCRAFT_STAGE/usr/lib/$SNAPCRAFT_ARCH_TRIPLET/dri/iHD_drv_video.so"
