At first, I thought there was no need to apply the same change to export_list, based on how mold implements the corresponding part. However, I found that GNU ld searches paths specified via -L when options such as --dynamic-list are provided. Therefore, to match GNU ld’s behavior, this change also applies to export_list.

When the
-Loption specifies a library search path, Wild now also searches that path for version scripts and export lists if none are found in the current directory.
