Looks good, though see comments below.  Thanks for doing this.

Pedantically, this is really a "why", not a "what".  Should be something
around:

	* gdb.server/solib-list.exp: Remove is_remote check.
	Pass shlib= to gdb_compile.  Don't link shared library with
	-soname.  Call gdb_remote_download instead of gdb_load_shlibs.
	Run binary filename through "readlink -f" on the target.

Did you remove this line on purpose?  If so, missing period.  :-)

BTW, I actually meant to extended it to:

 "or to the test output directory, when local testing."

before pushing the previous patch, but forgot.
