[committed][gdb/testsuite] Be quiet about missing prelink in solib-overlap.exp

[Tom de Vries]

Hi,

When running gdb.base/solib-overlap.exp, I get:
...
Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/solib-overlap.exp ...
sh: prelink: command not found

                === gdb Summary ===

nr of untested testcases         1
...

The verbose output on stdout/stderr is due to using system to execute
prelink, which also means that the output is not captured in gdb.log and
gdb.sum.

Fix this by using exec instead of system.

Tested on x86_64-linux, with:
- no prelink installed, and
- a fake prelink installed, using "cp /usr/bin/echo ~/bin/prelink".


Committed to trunk.

Thanks,
- Tom
