Was your mental model that there was always an solib_ops?  I guess I
could have done it this way, it would be close to what we have now.  But
I'm not sure it's really useful.  As far as I know, an solib_ops doesn't
provide anything useful when the inferior isn't running yet.

Agreed, I just wouldn't rush it.
