[Bug symtab/11198] New: Performance problem in find_minsym_and_objfile

["andre dot poenitz at nokia dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Each time I step the first time into code belonging to some library like QtCore
or QtGui, gdb goes to 100% CPU for 10-20 seconds. That time is spent almost
entirely in find_minsym_and_objfile (char *name, struct objfile **objfile_p) in
glibc-tdep.c. The change below removes the delay and does not seem to have ill
side-effects for me.
