The call was only just added for the hurd :-( Hmm,
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2002-02/msg00631.html
Oops, ulgh! if RichardE tweeks to code (as I suggested) to simply prefer
realpath() it will break the hurd again. I think prefering realpath()
is correct (only use an obscure function when forced too) but that logic
is going to need to be scrambled a bit more :-(.
RichardE, I guess another re-think.
Andrew
