I suspect your version of GDB predates the "set sysroot" name;
solib-absolute-prefix is a lot older.

It's harder than it sounds to figure out whether we're native
debugging or remote debugging once you're down in the shared library
code; I don't think it's worth it.  I have no preference whether we
search the solib-search-path before or after the sysroot, though I am
a little worried about breaking existing setups...
