I was recommending that because I did not expect that there was any
widespread usage of aliasing of binary names using symlinks.

I realized today that on debian there are many aliases
of binaries created with the /etc/alternatives mechanism.
So there is much wider exposure to problems than I would have
supposed.

So I remove any objections to making the new code conditional on bprm->fdpath.
