About 38 lines into solib_open in solib.c there are three lines that look like:
if (found_file < 0 && solib_search_path != NULL) for searching various directories, I think they were copied one from another and that the second and third should not refer to solib_search_path, but should refer to 'get_in_environ (inferior_environ, "PATH")' and 'get_in_environ (inferior_environ, "LD_LIBRARY_PATH")' respectively. Perhaps the following code would be suitable (if get_in_environ returns a null if the env var is not defined): /* If not found, next search the solib_search_path (if any). */ if (found_file < 0 && solib_search_path != NULL) found_file = openp (solib_search_path, 1, in_pathname, O_RDONLY, 0, &temp_pathname); /* If not found, next search the inferior's $PATH environment variable. */ p = get_in_environ (inferior_environ, "PATH"); if (found_file < 0 && p != NULL) found_file = openp (p, 1, in_pathname, O_RDONLY, 0, &temp_pathname); /* If not found, next search the inferior's $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. */ p = get_in_environ (inferior_environ, "LD_LIBRARY_PATH"); if (found_file < 0 && p != NULL) found_file = openp (p, 1, in_pathname, O_RDONLY, 0, &temp_pathname); The bug that this fixes is that the following error message: Error while mapping shared library sections: was incorrectly generated because solib_open failed to find libraries that were listed in env var "PATH". (The second call to openp was skipped because solib_search_path was being tested when it should have looked for PATH in inferior_environ.
