As Andrew already pointed out, the use of concat in dwarf2.c is incorrect.
Worse, the fix is incorrect. The filename is saved in add_line_info, and
can not be free'd in decode_line_info; fixing this leak will take more
careful attention. Reverting the patch fixes twelve failures in the LD
testsuite on i686-pc-linux-gnu.
GDB does not use this code so that doesn't explain which fix broke GDB.
