I would have expected the above to work -- as then gdb will think
dynamic linker is /my/ld.so.1 from the start, and it's not going
to change to anything else.

=46rom previous discussion it's not clear why the name changes on
Solaris, but it appears the initial name is grabbed from ELF directly,
and will be /my/ld.so.1 in your case.
