I can't find official documentation for RT_CONSISTENT,
but Solaris (from which this interface is copied) AFAICT calls 
_dl_debug_state() (or rather its Solaris equivalent) at (B):
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/sgs/rtld/common/setup.c#1028
[ (B) = after relocations and before initializers ]

There is just no easy way for debugger how to catch the later point - after the
relocations got resolved.
