Close. Binutils doesn't really read debug info the way gdb does. They
both try to do the same thing, but gdb looks at it slightly differently.

Oops. Should have been "gdb_loc" not "gdbtk_loc".

Yeah -- that's been the sad approach used by most. As I recall we have a
file in gdb that used to use the same filename as another file in bfd.
