Hi Sergio,

Wow, thanks! Don't feel compeled to look at it. It would take me more
time to investigate as I'm not familiar with this area, but I'm still
happy to do it.

I agree that an informative message on the command line would be useful,
and the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the warning is that
we should be mimicking what we're doing for libthread_db.

But also, I think what we will be doing will also depend on how we see
the future. I get the impression with this warning that we eventually
expect all GNU/Linux systems to all provide whatever feature is needed
for the improved method to work. But solib-svr4 is used on other
platforms too - do we expect it to be the default on those as well?

Thanks again, I really appreciate that!
