This did break gcc-ar and gcc-nm; now a regression on the 4.8 branch.

$ gcc-ar-4.8 -h
gcc-ar-4.8: Cannot find plugin 'liblto_plugin.so'

the plugin is *not* installed with x permission flags (which seems to be the
standard for shared libraries).   You did change the code to use find_a_file
which searches only for files with the x bit set.

Work around is to install the plugin with the x bits set, or use some helper
function which doesn't look for the x bits.  I assume that wasn't catched,
because the plugin then was found in another location?
