/* This routine can be a real performance hog. According to some gprof data
which mtranle@paris.IntelliCorp.COM (Minh Tran-Le) sent, almost all the
time spend in solib_add (up to 20 minutes with 35 shared libraries) is
spent here, with 5/6 in lookup_minimal_symbol and 1/6 in read_memory.
Possible solutions:
* Hash the minimal symbols.
* Just record the name of the minimal symbol and lazily patch the
addresses.
* Tell everyone to switch to Solaris2. */
