Hmm, I'm suprised that gdb has this problem, it seems like it might make more sense if it resulved the symlinks and then looked for the debug file matching the library they pointed to. Your patch to make it just copy the symlinks into the debug directory does look good, but I'd like to hear from Dan first and make sure that this is not a gdb bug and that we really need to do this. -- see shy jo
