It turns out that the above check is okay.  It's gdb's ``info source''
command which is having problems.  When I configure & build gdb using
absolute paths, I'm NOT seeing the problem, but when I'm using relative
paths, I am.  Still haven't completely figured it out yet.

Anyway, I don't think it's a testsuite problem, but a gdb problem
instead.
