Thanks, but I think you've misunderstood the comments.  We should only
ignore the ".gz" suffix.  Ignoring other suffixes would be a potential
regression, because there's nothing wrong in trying to load a file
called, say, foobar.so.abc.  The current code supports that, and I see
no reason to drop that support.

The ".gz" suffix gets in the way because dynamic loaders cannot load
such compressed shared libraries.

So the condition for not appending a suffix from
load-file-rep-suffixes should also test the value of 'ext', and only
refuse to append it if it compares equal with ".gz".
