While this patch looks okay in principle, I think it would be better
to just resolve the paths we are looking for: that is, do symlink
resolution in is_file, and use realpath to get the actual path before
passing it to file_architecture. If the file can be stat()ed, then it
is a relative symlink whose target we can read.

Patch coming in a minute.
