Thanks for looking it up.

Is there a way to move this code to the application level?  It doesn't 
seem right to me to have an obscure BFD function look at environment 
variables.

If this cannot be done, we can still make it work, either by introducing 
some global variable specific to the DJGPP port, or by having the 
application push a special variable into the environment whose value is 
the leading directory from argv[0].
