Should "dir" override the full path encoded in debug info?

That's fine. But then how do you explain that when you compile
differently GDB now finds the files in the new location, despite
the fact that the files in the original location are still present
(and the debugging info contains the path to the original files)?
Isn't that inconsistent?
