gdb-971126 shared libraries is different -n linux



gdb-971126 is working differently with shared libraries on linux than
gdbtk-970507.

Is there a better way to set a breakpoint in a shared library than:
	breaking at main
	setting breakpoints in shared library
	continuing

I never have been able to get the share command to do anything useful...
Is there a way to preload shared libaries?

I'm  debugging ld from gas-971213 on linux/libc1.

link-data contains:
	set args -m aixppc --noinhibit-exec  -Ttext 0x20003868 -Tdata 0x200038b0 -Tbss 0x200038d0 -N -o foo.so data.o --cref --entry=.foobar
	break main
	r
	#break _bfd_relocate_contents
	break xcofflink.c:6623
	c
For gdb971126, we can't run the second time:
