Name sent to gdb is from r_debug->link_map->l_name, gdbserver already sends it
that way and everyone seems to be fine with it

/proc/PID/maps name should be IMO really ignored, it has no use for anything
if I have not forgot about something. What do you want to use /proc/PID/maps
name for?

Maybe gdbserver should transform somehow the name from r_debug or use the name
fro /proc/PID/maps intead etc. but that would be completely unrelated new
patch.
