This code is required in order to clear out the link_map structures between 
runs.  If this were not done, gdb would think the link_map entries from 
the last run were still valid when they're not.

The code works fine for Solaris which is elf.  Is there any difference
in how Linux shared objects behave?  Does linux follow the svr4 conventions
for shared objects?
