For example, suppose I have /my/path/to/program and its debug file is /my/path/ to/.debug/program. This works with gdb, and the callback documentation in libdwfl.h (line 242) suggests that libdwfl supports this idiom, as well. If this is not currently possible, I was wondering if it might be desirable to allow for this. I wouldn't mind taking a crack at implementing this, if given an idea as to what semantics would be desired. Thanks, Ray
