Ack, thanks for the insight.

That's fixed now.
[ In a way, it's a known problem. Running gdb-add-index twice on the
same (regular, non-dwz-ed) executable, gives the same kind of error. ]

Ok, I've incorporated that fix, as well as making the handle_file
$dwz_file conditional on $dwz_file != "".
Updated version attached.

[gdb/contrib] Fix gdb/contrib/gdb-add-index.sh for dwz-m-ed execs
Atm gdb-add-index.exp fails with target board cc-with-dwz-m.
Fix this by updating gdb/contrib/gdb-add-index.sh to handle a dwz-m-ed
executable.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2019-05-07 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
PR gdb/24445
* contrib/gdb-add-index.sh: Update to handle dwz-m-ed executable.
