Yes.

Normally, we also try to remove the #include of solib.h from the
appropriate nm-*.h files.  However, we can't easily do that for
Irix since nm-irix6.h includes nm-irix5.h which includes
config/nm-sysv4.h.  This latter file is used by a lot of other
platforms.  Once our Irix system is running again, I'll see if
I can figure out what should be done so that solib.h isn't included
more than once.  (Including it more than once is safe though because
solib.h protects itself from multiple inclusions.)

Thanks,
