[patch elided]
Your patch corresponds to my "at first glance" comment above. While
it might provide some short term relief for the problem that you're
seeing, it doesn't address the problem of libraries needing to be
reloaded when the search path or absolute prefix is changed. Would
you mind trying the following patch instead?
* solib.c (reload_shared_libraries): New function.
(_initialize_solib): Add command callbacks for
``set solib-search-path'' and ``set solib-absolute-prefix''.
