Ahh... I think I see now:

(gdb) help set solib-search-path
Set the search path for loading non-absolute shared library symbol files.
This takes precedence over the environment variables PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
(gdb) help set solib-absolute-prefix
Set prefix for loading absolute shared library symbol files.
For other (relative) files, you can add values using `set solib-search-path'.

The term 'absolute' here refers to an 'absolute path'.

Is this correct?
