I think I have an assignment for gdb, but I'm not 100 percent sure. I've 
moved recently and don't find my papers at the moment.
Could someone verify please that the assignment is in place?

That was the result of copy-n-paste into the mail.

How about the following patch? My tcl fu is not that strong, so I 
explicitly wrote out
the expanded strings instead of computing them.

The shell command line could get quite long with this change, depending 
how deep
the build directory is located in the hierarchy. I could invoke the 
shell for each path separately, but
this would be slower. Any opinions?

        * gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp: Don't use brace expansion,
        since it's not supported in all shells.  Write out the expanded
        names directly.
