gdb-980122 behavior on linux with shared libraries

[Marty Leisner]

I have a tentative solution (which I don't fully understand
why its only showing up on elf).

Between 970507 and now, in solib.c the
	flag solib_cleanup_queued
	function  do_clear_solib
was added...

What's happening is inbetween runs, all mappings to shared
libraries are erased, so the next run, the breakpoints are
queried and the question is asked:
	is this a breakpoint in a shared library?
newer gdb's don't retain any information about shared libraries,
so the answer is no.

This worked for now...I don't understand why it was added

        * solib.c (find_solib):  Register cleanup to call clear_solib
        on a new 'run' command.
