[Bug documentation/4326] New: make all fails if '.' on execution path

["dcnltc at us dot ibm dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

I discovered while trying to install systemtap from one of the snapshots on the
web site, that the 'make all' fails if you have '.' on your execution path
because when the build gets into: src/build-elfutils/src, it builds an
executable called 'ld'.  On subsequent attempts to link other tools this ld
get's invoked and it apparently doesn't recognize the same switches as the host ld.

There isn't really a component to report this sort of bug so I just chose
documentation because the installation instructions don't say: "don't have . on
your path.
