Yes, that code did exist a while ago, in this case to force transparent
building against an SDK without specifying -isysroot. I ripped it out because
it was broken and would have required extra work to fix, which I was not
willing to invest for something we are no longer using.

Additionally, it wouldn't solve the problem. When passing the complete path to
any syscalls, the same problem would occur. Paths might be shorter for user
space (or at least the part of it below darwintrace.dylib), but that's about
it.
