Ok, since you did all the hard work, test out the below, and let us
know if it works.  Could someone else run a dejagnu run on it, then we
can submit it for inclusion.

	* c-decl.c (c_expand_body): Use the name of the file associated
	with the fndecl, not the current input filename.

Sorry, it didn't change anything for me.
