The intent if for them to use the pkg2path hook.  If
they can't use that, they'll need an architecture-specific way to
figure out the @<addr> component.  It may even be possible for sparc
to use package-to-path; but either way, if an architecture doesn't
have package-to-path (OLPC and powerpc have it; I don't know about
sparc), and can't fake it, it'll need to do something special.

If the pkg2path hook isn't set and we're not sparc, we fall back to
dp->name.  That sucks, but I don't know of a better way to do things.

path_component_name is filled in by build_path_component() in
sparc-land.  It's very sparc-specific, and having path_component_name
around doesn't help us on other architectures if we don't know how to
fill it in.
