+qemu-x86_64: gdb doesn't read symbols from dynamically linked shared libraries.
+Description of problem:
+GDB fails to load dynamically linked shared libraries when connecting to qemu-x86_64, causing it to not recognize symbols from the shared libraries. As a result, breakpoints in shared library functions (e.g, `break printf`) do not work.
+Steps to reproduce:
+1. Start the debug server: `./qemu-x86_64 -g PORT ./x86_64-binary`
+2. Connect GDB to the debug server:
+```
+$ gdb-multiarch ./x86_64-binary
+(gdb) set verbose on
+(gdb) target remote :PORT
+```
+3. GDB displays a warning and fails to load shared libraries:
+```
+(gdb) target remote :PORT
+Remote debugging using :PORT
+warning: platform-specific solib_create_inferior_hook did not load initial shared libraries.
+(gdb) info sharedlibrary
+No shared libraries loaded at this time.
+```
+Additional information:
+This issue does not occur when using gdbserver on a native x86_64 machine and connecting to it from gdb-multiarch on an ARM64 machine, indicating the issue is likely related to QEMU rather than GDB. 
+
+GDB correctly recognizes symbols from the target binary (e.g., the `main` function), and breakpoints at these symbols function as expected.
