Hmm.. I'm not sure this is a good idea.  _dxe_load was meant to be as
small as possible.  Why does it need to support symlinks?

(And, btw: if you replace _open with open, you need to use O_BINARY,
since that's how _open opens the file.  I'm guessing that it worked
for you by sheer luck--no ^Z characters in the DXE, etc.)
