It looks like the new added option(in GDB CVS HEAD):
set filename-display absolute
Also control the filename display format of the bt command.

I am aware of this Bug but I do not know how Emacs uses it as I do not use
Emacs.
The annotations for Emacs already use absolute filenames so does it matter
anymore?
Was it still an issue before "set filename-display" was implemented recently?

@Jan: 
Before "set filename-display"  feature was implement in CVS. E.g. several
months ago, if I remember correctly, you start GDB by passing the "-fullname"
option, then you still see relatives paths shown after the "bt" command.
Literally, "fullname" means "absolute name", right? 

PS: I know nothing about Emace.

Talking about gdb-7.5 here:

The -fullname option causes calling function identify_source_line.
This function already printed s->fullname annotation before, even without my
patches.

-fullname according to gdb.info is really just about this annotation.
The -fullname option doc does not talk about any change in user visible GDB
text output like the backtraces.

The MI part has been already fixed for some time, not by changing the "file"
attribute but by introducing new "fullname" attribute.

Talking about gdb-7.6 here:

Emacs users still may prefer absolute filenames in backtraces but that is
unrelated to the -fullname option, they can set the "set filename-display"
option now.

So I find this Bug fixed, although a bit differently than it was filed.

The submitted dennis at slickedit.com replied:

I originally filed this bug a decade ago, but it is irrelevant at this point. 
The original fix was to make the "file=" attribute report absolute filenames
instead of relative, but the GDB now has the "fullname" attribute in the GDB/MI
output, so applications can use that.

Example:

(gdb) -stack-list-frames

^done,stack=[frame={level="0",addr="0x00000001000be56b",func="test_SEMainTokenList_default",file="test_SEMainTokenList.cpp",fullname="/Users/dbrueni/18.0.0-parsing/unittest/tagsdb/test_SEMainTokenList.cpp",line="175"},frame={level="1",addr="0x00000001000bb4e2",func="test_SEMainTokenList",file="test_SEMainTokenList.cpp",fullname="/Users/dbrueni/18.0.0-parsing/unittest/tagsdb/test_SEMainTokenList.cpp",line="3535"},frame={level="2",addr="0x000000010004ad92",func="main",file="testtagsdb.cpp",fullname="/Users/dbrueni/18.0.0-parsing/unittest/tagsdb/testtagsdb.cpp",line="35"}]
