(or set of directories, as in LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to search for all
shared libraries if not found in SOLIB_ABSOLUTE_PREFIX.
- Search order:
- * If path is absolute, look in SOLIB_ABSOLUTE_PREFIX.
- * If path is absolute or relative, look for it literally (unmodified).
+ Search algorithm:
+ * If there is a solib_absolute_prefix and path is absolute:
+ * Search for solib_absolute_prefix/path.
+ * else
+ * Look for it literally (unmodified).
* Look in SOLIB_SEARCH_PATH.
* If available, use target defined search function.
- * Look in inferior's $PATH.
- * Look in inferior's $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
+ * If solib_absolute_prefix is NOT set, perform the following two searches:
+ * Look in inferior's $PATH.
+ * Look in inferior's $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

+ * The last check avoids doing this search when targetting remote
