While Base is correct, standard libraries seem to give the paths of the machine it was built in. Eg for the official 1.0 binaries,
julia> methods(Base.parent)
# 9 methods for generic function "parent":
[1] parent(V::SubArray) in Base at subarray.jl:63
[2] parent(A::Base.ReshapedArray) in Base at reshapedarray.jl:189
[3] parent(a::Base.ReinterpretArray) in Base at reinterpretarray.jl:69
[4] parent(A::PermutedDimsArray) in Base.PermutedDimsArrays at permuteddimsarray.jl:48
[5] parent(A::Union{Adjoint{T,S}, Transpose{T,S}} where S where T) in LinearAlgebra at /buildworker/worker/package_linux64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.0/LinearAlgebra/src/adjtrans.jl:152
[6] parent(A::LinearAlgebra.AbstractTriangular) in LinearAlgebra at /buildworker/worker/package_linux64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.0/LinearAlgebra/src/triangular.jl:107
[7] parent(A::Union{Hermitian{T,S}, Symmetric{T,S}} where S where T) in LinearAlgebra at /buildworker/worker/package_linux64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.0/LinearAlgebra/src/symmetric.jl:252
[8] parent(D::LinearAlgebra.Diagonal) in LinearAlgebra at /buildworker/worker/package_linux64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.0/LinearAlgebra/src/diagonal.jl:112
[9] parent(a::AbstractArray) in Base at abstractarray.jl:1061
julia> VERSION
v"1.0.0"
Should I open an issue?
