That was the plan, for the very reasons why you want this, but given
that the semantics of pathnames in INPUT and GROUP is slightly
different from what I thought it was (it will search for full
namenames within the search dirs as well), I thought it was reasonable
to keep searching the real root.  I can make:

       if (ldfile_try_open_bfd (entry->filename, entry))
+	{
+	  entry->sysrooted = FALSE;
+	  return TRUE;
+	}

an `else if' instead, and this would behave like both of us want, with
minimal changes to the current behavior.  Would this change be
acceptable?
