shared library symbols not loaded automatically


Hello,
I am trying to debug a program which uses shared libraries.
My host is i386-linux and target is arm-linux.
While debugging, gdb shows me the shared libraries used by my program
but it does not load the symbols automatically (auto-solib-add is set).
I have to explicitly use the sharedlibrary command after which the shared
library symbols are read in.

Here is the GDB session -

I want the shared library symbols to be read in automatically. Any help will be appreciated.
