--- Comment #2 from mallet at laas dot fr ---
I understand bug 17532 is a deliberate fix. However, I was talking more
precisely about using an absolute path name. Traditionaly, absolute paths are
considered as such and do not require any "search path".

I noticed that using an explicit -L/ in front of a -l:/absolute/path.so make it
work, which I find a bit weird. For instance, if there happen to be a
/foo/absolute/path.so, using -L/foo -l:/absolute/path.so would not give the
expected results.

I think that either -l:/absolute/path.so should raise an error, or be treated
as such. What do you think?
