When we are already fixing it we should already fix it right.

Therefore to have the right lookup order even between shared libraries.

There should be also testfile for it testing it all.

The lookup gets more complex as a library symbol may be not only static vs.
global but it may be also hidden.  And moreover it can be also weak (and now
also secondary-weak with H.J.'s proposal).

This is a small project on its work to get GDB right, I plan it already for
many years (like many other GDB projects).  Sure we may also choose only some
subset of all these fixes.

Jan
