Proposed patch

Hi Jaydeep,

  Unfortunately there is a small problem with your proposed patch.  The
libiberty library which includes the lrealpath() function is maintained by gcc,
not the binutils.  (The binutils make use of the library, but we do not own
it).  So you would need to submit half of your patch to them.  They may also
decide not to accept the patch since the intention of the lrealpath() function
is that it behaves in exactly the same way as the realpath() function.

  As an alternative, please could you try out this variation of your patch,
which moves all of the code into the _bfd_real_fopen() function.  From a visual
inspection I think that it will work, but I do not have a win32 system on which
I could test it.  If it does work, please let me know and I will check it in.

Cheers
  Nick
