Hi Waldemar,

I would suggest following patch, which removes the

While debugging a ld.so issue with gdb 8.0 on alpha, I recognized
that the debugger stalled when trying to execute this code.
It thought this code was added to help debugging ld.so, but it seems
nowadays it prevents to do so. May be bitrotted?
Does anyone found it useful while debugging ld.so with gdb in the
past?
AFAIU this code is responsible for notifying gdb of loading/unloading
shared objects, not just for ld.so debugging. It makes gdb commands
like 'catch load' work, which I occasionally find useful.
