Eli,

Your solib.c changes are approved.

I have a minor style criticism.  I would prefer to see function calls
with an embedded assignment expression written as a separate assignment
statement followed by the function call.  E.g, instead of writing...

  add_show_from_set
    (c = add_set_cmd ("solib-absolute-prefix", class_support, var_filename,
		      (char *) &solib_absolute_prefix,
		      "Set prefix for loading absolute shared library symbol files.\n\
For other (relative) files, you can add values using `set solib-search-path'.",
		  &setlist),
     &showlist);

...write this instead:

  c = add_set_cmd ("solib-absolute-prefix", class_support, var_filename,
		   (char *) &solib_absolute_prefix,
		   "Set prefix for loading absolute shared library symbol files.\n\
For other (relative) files, you can add values using `set solib-search-path'.",
		  &setlist);
  add_show_from_set (c, &showlist);

The GNU coding standards do not explicitly address this case, but they
do address a similar case regarding if-conditions.  See:

    http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_24.html#SEC24
