    elf: Add test for locating libraries in root dir (bug 30435)
    
    When dlopen is being called, efforts have been made to improve
    future lookup performance. This includes marking a search path
    as non-existent using `stat`. However, if the root directory
    is given as a search path, there exists a bug which erroneously
    marks it as non-existing.
    
    The bug is reproduced under the following sequence:
    
      1. dlopen is called to open a shared library, with at least:
         1) a dependency 'A.so' not directly under the '/' directory
            (e.g. /lib/A.so), and
         2) another dependency 'B.so' resides in '/'.
      2. for this bug to reproduce, 'A.so' should be searched *before* 'B.so'.
      3. it first tries to find 'A.so' in /, (e.g. /A.so):
         - this will (obviously) fail,
         - since it's the first time we have seen the '/' directory,
           its 'status' is 'unknown'.
      4. `buf[buflen - namelen - 1] = '\0'` is executed:
         - it intends to remove the leaf and its final slash,
         - because of the speciality of '/', its buflen == namelen + 1,
         - it erroneously clears the entire buffer.
      6. it then calls 'stat' with the empty buffer:
         - which will result in an error.
      7. so it marks '/' as 'nonexisting', future lookups will not consider
         this path.
      8. while /B.so *does* exist, failure to look it up in the '/'
         directory leads to a 'cannot open shared object file' error.
    
    This patch fixes the bug by preventing 'buflen', an index to put '\0',
    from being set to 0, so that the root '/' is always kept.
    Relative search paths are always considered as 'existing' so this
    wont be affected.
