* solib-svr4.c (svr4_solib_create_inferior_hook): Disable breakpoints at startup. (elf_locate_base): Find out where the entry point for the program is, using the auxv vector, if possible. Compute the address of .dynamic using it. (svr4_current_sos): Don't ignore the first entry if we have PIE, it's our main program. Delete code that was skipping over the solib entry for main executable. * solist.h (struct so_list): Add fields main and main_relocated. (add_to_target_sections): Export. * solib.c (symbol_add_stub): Handle main executable in shared library list. Ignore it if it has been relocated already. Add it as the main symbol file, otherwise. * infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Re-enable startup breakpoints. * solib-svr4.c (elf_locate_base, first_link_map_member) svr4_current_sos, enable_break): Add debugging output. * solist.h (debug_solib): Export. * solib.c (debug_solib): New variable to enable debugging output. (symbol_add_stub, update_solib_list, update_solib_list) (add_to_target_sections): Add debugging output. (_initialize_solib): Add new comand to enable printing of debugging output. (add_to_target_sections): New function. Factored out from update_solib_list. (update_solib_list): Call add_to_target_sections. * varobj.h (varobj_refresh): New prototype. * varobj.c (varobj_refresh): New function. * symfile.c (reread_symbols): Make sure that we recompute the entry point for the program. (symbol_file_clear): Clear the solibs as well, if we change symbol files. (clear_symtab_users): Refresh the varobjs that depend on the symtabs we are clearing. * objfiles.c (entry_point_address): Rewrite, to fetch entry point from auxv vector, if possible. Add include of elf/common.h. * breakpoint.h (enum bptype): Add bp type bp_startup_disabled. (re_enable_breakpoints_at_startup) (disable_breakpoints_at_startup): Add prototypes * breakpoint.c (re_enable_breakpoints_at_startup) (disable_breakpoints_at_startup): New functions. (describe_other_breakpoints, delete_breakpoint) (breakpoint_re_set_one): Handle new bp type. * auxv.h (target_auxv_parse, target_auxv_search): Update. * auxv.c (target_auxv_parse, target_auxv_search) (fprint_target_auxv): Use ULONGEST instead of CORE_ADDR for variable. Change variable name to at_type.

-<H3><A NAME="select">Selecting a Target</A></H3>
-Selecting a target involves choosing a target for debugging and setting connection
-interface options for the target.
-
-<P>Common targets include: "Exec" for native debuggers, "Remote/Serial" for establishing
-a connection to a target board via a serial line, "Remote/TCP" for TCP connections,
-and "Simulator" for connections to the simulator. There may be more depending on the
-configuration of the debugger being used.</P>
-
-<P>In general, "remote" targets are always serial connections which require the user
-to specify the serial port and baud rate to be used for the connection and
-"remote/tcp" targets are always TCP connections which require specifying the hostname
-and port number of the machine to which to connect. Depending upon configuration,
-there may be numerous serial- and TCP-based connections. These always follow the
-naming convention <I>target</I>/Serial and <I>target</I>/TCP.</P>
-
-<P>To select a target, choose one of the available targets
-from the dropdown menu in the Connection Frame. Then <A NAME="#select_int">specify
-the interface options</A> for this target: selecting the baudrate and serial port
-from the dropdown menus (serial targets only) or entering the hostname and port number
-(TCP targets only).</P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="options">Options</A></H3>
-Three run options which may be selected include:
-<DL>
- <DT><A NAME="options_run_until_main">Run until 'main'</A>
- <DD>Sets a breakpoint at main()
- <DT><A NAME="options_bp_at_exit">Set breakpoint at 'exit'</A>
- <DD>Sets a breakpoint at exit()
- <DT><A NAME="options_download_dialog">Display Download Dialog</A>
- <DD>Displays a dialog showing the progress of the download to
- the target section by section
-</DL>
-<BR>
-<H3><A NAME="more_options">More Options</A></H3>
-Several additional run options may be set for each target from the Target Selection
-Dialog. These options govern the behavior of the debugger's
-<A NAME="source.html#run_button">Run Button</A>. The debugger automatically selects
-default values for these options whenever a target is selected with the dropdown menu
-in the Connection Frame. To modify this default behavior, click the small triangle
-next to "More Options" at the bottom of the dialog. The Run Options for the current
-target are displayed, allowing modification of the actions for the target. When the
-"OK" button is selected, these settings are saved and will be used as the default
-for the target in future sessions.
-
-<DL>
- <DT><A NAME="more_options_attach">Attach to Target</A>
- <DD>Establish a connection to the target board.
- <DT><A NAME="more_options_load">Download Program</A>
- <DD>Download the program to the target board.
- <DT><A NAME="more_options_run">Run Program</A>
- <DD>Run the program on the target board, creating a new
- "process". This option may not be specified along with
- the continue option. See note below.
- <DT><A NAME="more_options_cont">Continue from Last Stop</A>
- <DD>Continue the program on the target board from where
- it last stopped. This option may not be specified
- along with the "run" option. See note below.
-</DL>
-
-<P>Note that all remote targets typically do not "run" programs. Since target
-boards are usually incapable of creating a new "process", these targets
-seldom "Run". The defaults for all remote targets reflect this distinction: they
-are all set to "Continue".</P>
-
-<P>Only one of the options "Run Program" and "Continue from Last Stop" may be used.
-Typically, the default behavior of this setting should not be altered.</P>
