Yes, because this is not an ld issue — ld behaves as expected. The
problem lies in these three test cases, which do not account for the

Sure, but why bother when the linker already does the job? Besides,
changing that one innocent \ to / doesn't seem like a trivial task to
me. IMO, it would require fairly extensive testing.
