Thank you for your answers.

I want to understand what exactly the word "initial" means here. What 
happens with the searched-for paths when using the CONFIG directive 
to change the CWD? Is the new CWD added to the searched-for paths? Is 
the "old" (previously set as - but no longer is the) CWD still 
included in the searched-for paths?

Having now:
A_ "old" CWD;
B_ "new" CWD;
C_ ldlinux.c32 location;
D_ PATH directive(s) stated in "old" cfg files;
E_ PATH directive(s) stated in "new" cfg files;

in which specific (sort) order are the respective paths searched for 
lib*.c32 files?

TIA,
Ady.
