[Bug symtab/15652] New: full symlink resolution prevents gdb from finding fission dwp files

[dje at google dot com]

            Bug ID: 15652
           Summary: full symlink resolution prevents gdb from finding
                    fission dwp files
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: symtab
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dje at google dot com

GDB expects to be able to find a binary's dwp file in the same directory as the
binary.  [gdb will also search debug-file-directory, but it first looks in the
same directory as the binary] But if the binary is actually a symlink to a file
in a different directory than the dwp file, then things break.

Fission ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission

Repro:
1) build binary + binary.dwp
2) mkdir foo
3) ln -s ../binary foo/binary
4) mv binary.dwp foo
5) gdb foo/binary
-->
gdb can't find binary.dwp

This works for me:

Reading symbols from ./Subdir/a...
(gdb) maint info bfd
Refcount   Address            Filename                                 
2          0x2fa4b10          /tmp/QQ/Subdir/a.dwp                     
2          0x2f7ac70          /tmp/QQ/./Subdir/a                       


I suspect it was fixed in bug #15415.
