The question is whether this information is available without having to
read full symtabs.  Is this the dirname referenced in debug
information, or the dirname in which GDB has actually found the file?
I'm guessing that it's the latter, since so few debug readers bother to
fill in the former.  If so we would have to search the directory path
for every file when generating psymtabs, which isn't acceptable.  It
would take a fearsomely long time.
