Ooh ooh....number 3 just came to mind.  In solib_open(), we go through a
bunch of, "Lib not found yet? Okay, try this.  Still not found?  Okay, try
this".

We could just make a target_ops solib_open_hook that returns a fd to the lib
in some vendor/target defined way.  Then, in solib_open(), we just check to
see if the hook is there and try to open the lib with that.  This would work
really well because then we can adjust on the fly to endian issues, etc.
ie. $QNX_TARGET/armbe or armle.
