Hi!

What's the reason why glibc ld.so handles empty paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and RPATH/RUNPATH as current directory instead of skipping?
I've just checked what Solaris ld.so does and it looks like it is skipping
empty paths both in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and RPATH/RUNPATH, and Sun shell scripts
apparently cannot be bothered to check for null LD_LIBRARY_PATH before
prepending something to it.

	Jakub
