[Bug gas/2582] New: dwarf2dbg.c embeds absolute filename path with hard-coded / separator

[burgess at impulse dot net]

dwarf2dbg.c -- line 1476 of CVS version 1.81:

p[len] = '/';

This inserts a filesystem separator character when tacking the source filename 
back onto the source 
directory when providing the source-file's path for DWARF2 debugging 
information.  HOWEVER in 
Windows systems where the filename has been specified in Windows format, i.e. 
C:\Workspaces\Eclipse
\Blinky\init.s, this creates a filename in the DWARF2 debugging information 
that looks like C:
\Workspaces\Eclipse\Blinky/init.s -- and boy does that confuse ARM's Realview 
debugger for my ARM-
based embedded system.

You may ask why I'm doing this ... a fair question ... I am tied to the 
Realview debugger because of my 
particular JTAG interface, but the Realview debugger does not understand the 
default CYGWIN 
embedded pathnames of /cygdrive/c/workspaces/eclipse/blinky/*.  It wants 
Windows-format 
pathnames to be able to find the source files corresponding to the executable.  
By specifying the 
absolute Windows pathname in the call to as and gcc, this is accomplished OK!  
Or at least it was for 
gcc.

Sorry if I'm not filling in the bugzilla fields correctly, I'm new to this.
