[rfc] Clarify shared library warning


This function, added recently by Alex, just saved me hours.  I was looking
back at an old bug report, and some inexplicable symbols that seemed to
start in the middle of functions.  And right there was a message from GDB,
not present last time I looked at the testcase:

warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libc.so.6" is not at the expected
address

The tarball that went with the core dump had the wrong libraries in it.
No wonder it didn't work.

But this warning isn't very self-explanatory.  I was thinking something
like the below, in addition.  How does this sound?

warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libc.so.6" is not at the expected
address
warning: the wrong version of the shared library may have been found
