[newlib-cygwin] autoload.cc: Drop using full paths for system DLLs


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git;h=4b104ce07070e32363a217a554441a8b4df69d12

commit 4b104ce07070e32363a217a554441a8b4df69d12
Author: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>

    autoload.cc: Drop using full paths for system DLLs
    
    	System DLLs are always first in the DLL search order so
    	http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/2269637.mspx
    	doesn't apply for them.
    
            * autoload.cc (std_dll_init): Revert using full paths to system DLLs.
