* symfile.c (auto_solib_add): Renamed from auto_solib_add_at_startup.

        All references changed.
        * breakpoint.c (bpstat_what): Add shlib_event to the class types.
        Update state table.  Reformat so that it's still readable.
        When we hit the shlib_event breakpoint, set the calss of shlib_event.
        (breakpoint_1): Add "shlib events" as a breakpoint type.
        Print the shlib_event breakpoint like other breakpoints.
        (create_solib_event_breakpoint): New function.
        (breakpoint_re_set_one): Handle solib_event breakpoints.
        * breakpoint.h (enum bytype): Add bp_shlib_event breakpoint type.
        (enum bpstat_what_main_action): Add BPSTAT_WHAT_CHECK_SHLIBS
        action.
        (create_solib_event_breakpoint): Declare.
        * infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Handle CHECK_SHLIBS bpstat.
        (normal_stop): Inform the user when the inferior stoped due
        to a shared library event.
        (_initialize_infrun): Add new set/show variable "stop_on-solib-events"
        to control whether or not gdb continues the inferior or stops it when
        a shared library event occurs.
        * minsyms.c (lookup_minimal_symbol_solib_trampoline): New function.
        * somsolib.c (TODO list): Update.
        (som_solib_create_inferior_hook): Arrange for gdb to be notified
        when significant shared library events occur.
        * hppa-tdep.c (find_unwind_entry): No longer static.
First cut at the machine independent changes for 7363.  Also includes
code to automatically track shl_load/shl_unload calls on hpux.

@@ -19,6 +19,19 @@ The standard remote protocol now includes an option to send a break
 rather than a ^C to the target in order to interrupt it.  By default,
 GDB will send ^C; to send a break, set the variable `remotebreak' to 1.
 
+* Automatic tracking of dynamic object loading (HPUX only at the moment).
+
+By default GDB will automatically keep track of objects as they are
+loaded and unloaded by the dynamic linker.  By using the command
+"set stop-on-solib-events 1" you can arrange for GDB to stop the
+inferior when shared library events occur, thus allowing you to
+set breakpoints in shared libraries which are explicitly loaded by
+the inferior.
+
+Note this feature does not work on hpux8.  On hpux9 you must link 
+/usr/lib/end.o into your program.  This feature should work automatically
+on hpux10.
