The test copied the interpreter to the outputs directory, however
ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is a relative symlink that when copied points
nowhere:

The copying comes from gdbserver_spawn ->
gdbserver_download_current_prog -> gdb_remote_download.
There's actually no need to download the interpreter to the target -
it's part of the target system/environment. So fix this by making the
test just not use gdb_load (and gdb_file_cmd as consequence) at all,
and instead pass the interpreter filename to gdbserver as an argument.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2016-04-08 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.server/solib-list.exp: Don't use gdb_load. Instead pass the
interpreter filename as argument to gdbserver_spawn.
* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdbserver_download_current_prog):
Return empty if $last_loaded_file does not exist.
