it does, thanks.  so now the trick is to detect linker scripts that are in the 
sysroot but specified with their full path and set entry->sysrooted to 1.  
looking again (not testing) at your original patch makes me think that your 
patch should fix the /usr/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/libusb.so 
case without breaking the /root/binutils-test/lib/libfoo.so case right ?  if 
that's the case, i would add a comment above the line so that the intentions 
are kept clear and pester people for commit approval :).
