+icecc-create-env: handle relative paths in ld.so.conf includes

-Subject: [PATCH] icecc-create-env: handle relative paths in ld.so.conf includes
 
 In Fedora ld.so.conf contains an include directive with a relative path.
 ldconfig does not accept relative include paths when using -r.
-Rewrite includes in ld.so.conf to absolute paths.
+Instead of copying ld.so.conf verbatim, make a modified copy of it where
+relative paths are replaced with absolute to make ldconfig happy.
+
+Another improvement would be to add the included config files to the
+environment too, but I do not have a need for it in practice and haven't
+implemented it yet.

+icecc-create-env: improve check for "specs"
+
 From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>

-Subject: [PATCH] icecc-create-env: improve check for "specs"
 
 The check for "specs" would get confused if there was a file
 called "specs" in the current directory.
-Notice:
-  $ gcc -print-file-name=asdfghjkl
-  asdfghjkl
-i.e. if it does not find anything, it repeats the input name.
+Notice that gcc -print-file-name just prints the given file name in case it
+does not have anything useful to give to give:
+  $ gcc -print-file-name=specs
+  specs
