Sounds like the MinGW port isn't writing leading directories of the
files into the debug info.

Questions:

What is the default debug info format used by the MinGW port of GCC?

Does it help to use -gstabs+ instead of just -g?

Do you see the leading directories of the source file names if you
run "objdump --debug" on the object files?
