No, I actually meant to (and does) first try the absolute path. But on a
second thought I agree that this is not a very good solution. 

So I ended up removing the directory from the pathname after a shared
object has been loaded, similar to what you did before saving an
image. It is now possible to specify absolute pathnames during
development, save an image and move the shared objects around without
doing anything else when loading the image than setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The default behavior of removing absolute directories can be overridden
by specifying ":absolute t" to libraries and shared objects in the
defsystem form.
