I'm doing some hacking on the gdb<-->emacs interface and I have question
about whether this is a bug or not...

If you are not in the directory that actually has the source files and
you stop the program (via breakpoint, for example) gdb just outputs:

foo.c:49: No such file or directory.

It would be nice if it would also output the special emacs string so
that emacs could compensate for the error, perhaps with a prompt or
somesuch.  Thus I'd like to see it do:

foo.c:49: No such file or directory.
/remote/dec2/dec2d/gt4018c/foo.c:49:1287:beg:0x400250

Is there a workaround?
