Yeah, I'd actually say it this way: even with faster machines and
auto-solib-add 0, we're not getting away with it. :)
At present, GDB assumes that we know the shared object's load address
when we read the symbols. Perhaps this is a poor assumption, but it
is pretty fundamental to the current symbol table structure. I'm not
going to fix that as part of this dlclose change.
