I trust that answers that question!

Told ya I didn't speak perl! I did it because I didn't know what was going
wrong with popping the lib name off the end of argv so I rearranged it to have
the variable bit at the end, where I knew how to deal with it. And then I had
to copy it back to the build dir because I got rid of the abs_path stuff as
well because I also didn't understand it. Given that my goal was just to get
the thing to build and try it out, I figured anything that works would do.

I did check the viewcvs on sourceware. It said last changed 6 hours ago
when I was writing, now it says last changed 11 hours ago. Looks like you
checked in the fix in between me posting "it doesn't work" and "now trying
this", I didn't check again after hacking around it.
