Maybe worrying about nothing, but I wonder if we should move the call to
get_current_source_symtab_and_line outside of the lambda, and then
capture cursal by reference.

Also, the 'symtab_and_line &sal' can be made const.

This all makes sense, but I think you need to update the docs.  The docs
currently say:

  ... If @var{locspec} resolves to more than one address, the command
  aborts before jumping.

Which isn't true any more right?

If you rename 'jump_multiple_objfiles_foo.c' to
'jump_multiple_objfiles-foo.c', then you can replace these three lines
with:

  standard_testfile .c -foo.c .h

which is the preferred approach these days.

Drop this perror call.  runto_main will FAIL if appropriate.

Thanks,
