[gnu.gdb.bug] Source file name confusion

rms@mipos3.intel.com (07/29/89)

I just discovered that one of my source files was thought to be named
`./aux-output.c'.  When I tried to set a breakpoint in it with `b
aux-output.c:1337', GDB did not recognize the file name.

In some strict sense, this might be considered correct.  But I think
it is bad for the user.  GDB should not consider `./' in a file name
as significant.  I think such prefixes should be stripped from all
source file names when they are first encountered in the symbol table.
