Have you tried running dynamically linked executables with your patch? The whole point of the -L option is so that it picks up target shared libraries, eg. in lib and usr/lib. By my reading your patch makes the -L option do absolutely nothing, which can't be right. The proper fix is to do the lookups when a file is accesses (possibly with caching) not pre-scan the whole tree.
