Re: [PATCH] Ignore the first entry returned by svr4_current_sos_via_xfer_libraries for dynamically linked programs

[Ben Cheng <bccheng@google.com>]

Hmm this problem only shows up after I refresh gdbserver from the
unmodified gdb 7.6 tree. As you mentioned, gdb 7.1 did not support
library-list-svr4, so when I paired gdbserver 7.1 with gdb 7.6 they
also work fine.
