Looks reasonable.  I might clear the search_dirs_flag in
ldfile_open_file or ldfile_open_file_search in ldfile.c, to catch all
cases rather than fixing all the emulation files separately.  Also,
probably the same bug can occur with careful use of an INPUT
statement, and clearing the flag in ldfile.c would avoid that.
