Since we allow to link other object databases when loading a submodules database we should also load possible alternates.

I had a look over the code path in read_info_alternates() and it seems
that it uses the relative_base parameter for relative paths in the
alternates file which is the correct behavior.
So for me this looks like the correct solution. The testsuite passes.
Cheers Heiko
