Path names of native code files

Mark,

Per the module-file format spec v4 [1]:

"The path names of native-code files must not include 
 more than one element."

The jdk currently contains files that are in deeper 
directory hierachy
e.g. lib/i386/client/libjvm.so
     lib/i386/server/libjvm.so

What is the rationale behind the pathname limitation?

For now, I can turn off this check but checks the 
length of the pathname instead.
