In my opinion, there's the mistake: solib_absolute_prefix isn't
related to your target. It's a configuration setting, and if you're
using gdbserver to talk to a remote system, you should set it ("set
sysroot"). If you don't have the same layout as your target
reproduced on your host, set it to a nonexistant path.

That said, I'm not sure why we search the literal path before the
search path either.
