[PATCH] gas: improve reproducibility for stabs debugging data format

[Denys Zagorui -X (dzagorui - GLOBALLOGIC INC at Cisco)]

> powerpc 32bit Linux Kernel widely uses .stabs pseudo-op to
> produce debugging information in stabs format. Faced an issue
> that during Linux Kernel build with Yocto build system for 32bit
> powerpc platform resulting vmlinux contains absolute path in
> .stabstr section that cannot be remapped with -fdebug-prefix-map
> option.
>
> Yocto uses scripts/mkmakefile Linux Kernel build approach that
> allows to store all generated files outside of kernel source
> tree. With this approach each compilier invocation is performed
> with an absolute path to a file that will be compiled and this
> absolute path is recorded in init stab. There is no way to remap
> this path.
>
> Reuse remap_debug_filename api to make -fdebug-prefix-map flag
> aplicable for init stab.
