--- Comment #17 from Pekka Seppänen <pexu at sourceware dot mail.kapsi.fi> ---
Hi.

The patch added the following:

```
  if (!file)
    perror("Error opening file");
```

This is problematic, as _bfd_real_fopen() is ultimately used for an example
when ld is looking for an archive.  This means that perror() fires for soft
failures, such as archive not found from a search directry entry (-L or
--library-path).  

Again, on applications, that have multiple search path entries, in practice
there will be always "Error opening file: No such file or directory" error
messages displayed.  At least in this particular context those should be
suppressed.
