Hummm, looking at it for another 30 seconds, made me realize
it isn't fit.  Although AIX tells us something loaded with
'wait (&status), (status == 0x57c)', it doesn't tell us
specifically *what* was loaded - we have to build a list
of current_sos every time.  Being so, case solib-target.c
gets more in the way than helps.  Your approach seems best.
