[Bug ld/2375] New: ld testsuite skips ld-bootstrap tests if `pwd -L` != `pwd -P`

[peb at mppmu dot mpg dot de]

When running "make check" for binutils I noticed that sometimes the tests in
ld-bootstrap are skipped (UNSUPPORTED) and sometimes they succeed. It turned out
that this is due to the Tcl conditional
   if {$ld != "$objdir/ld-new"} {...}
(in bootstrap.exp, line 56), where "ld" refers to the physical path (pwd -P) and
"objdir" to the logical path (pwd -L) -- or maybe it was the other way around.
