No, that's the wrong direction.  Absolute paths are better.  I'd
rather we make a better effort at finding the pathname in the cases we
don't know them.

Losing information like this is never good.  At most, we could add a
knob to gdb to ignore the path information and look at the filename
only.

But, please, let's not go around and around, when I suggested "set sysroot"
several times already.  Did you actually try that?  Please do,
before posting more patches.
