Yeah, I had noticed that on
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-03/msg00142.html>, but never got
to propose a fix. Sorry about that.

Can that "unused DT_DEBUG" entry ever appear before DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP in the tags
list? With this patch, we'll stop looking if we see DT_DEBUG first, while
solib-svr4.c in GDB first looks for DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP in all tags, and only
if not found looks for DT_DEBUG (presumably, if there's no DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP,
then there's no DT_DEBUG either; only if DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP exist might there be
a DT_DEBUG). Do we need to worry about this?
