Even in that case, the binary directories should be searched first.  
I've made some effort at bulletproofing this, although the 
bulletproofing is not guaranteed.  I don't have the kind of automated 
testing resources to make those guarantees.  Plus, even an automated 
build would probably not suss out pathological cases.  Unless we think 
of them and deliberately write tests for them.
