Why do you want this change?  I don't think it's desireable.  The current
behavior is by explicit intent.  It makes sense add-ons sysdeps/ to act as
if superimposed on the libc/sysdeps tree.  Your change requires add-ons to
include Implies files for every Implies file in any libc/sysdeps/ directory
that they want to add on to.
