Maybe I'm thinking in a bit too simplistic way, but I think it should always be
<sysroot>/<debugdir>/<objfile>.  I would have to actually try different scenarios
in practice to convince myself.

While trying to reproduce, I also noticed that build-id based separate debug files
are not looked up using the sysroot... should they?  If your debug files are in
<sysroot>/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/..., I don't think they would be found at the
moment.

In the mean time, I think we can agree that the use case reported by Andrey is
clearly broken, so I would be fine with merging the patch.  I would like if we
could come up with a test though.

Andrey, I would make a few minor changes to your patch, if you agree:

- Use "startswith" instead of strncmp
- Use strlen instead of magical number 7
- Use ternary operator
- Change variable name "remote" to "target_prefix".

This would be the result:

Subject: [PATCH] Fix search of debug files for remote debuggee

When using remote debugging server, and when debuggee filename is
inferred via qXfer:exec-file:read request, or sysroot starts with
"target:", this "target:" prefix of filepaths is not treated correctly
during debug file search - it appears in the middle of the looked up
paths.

In the following example, unpatched GDB can't find separate debug files for
neither the executable, nor standard libraries:

     $ gdb -ex 'set debug separate-debug-file 1' -ex 'set sysroot target:/' -ex 'set debug-file-directory /usr/lib/debug:/home/j/hide' -ex 'target remote :3333' -ex 'break main' -ex 'continue' -ex 'bt' -ex 'info sharedlibrary' -ex 'set confirm off' -ex 'quit'

and this helps to find all debug files:
