--- Comment #1 from Tom Tromey <tromey at sourceware dot org> ---
I think what happened here is that bug #15415 changed gdb to
only partly resolve the objfile's names.  And in bug #24143,
I'm considering extending this a bit more.

We could make '.filename' do the resolution itself.
But it may be better to just leave it and update the docs,
on the theory that access to gdb's idea of what is going on
may be valuable, and Python code can easily call realpath on its own.
