Thanks a lot for your fast response!

You are right, the debug-file-directory is pointing to /usr/lib/debug, but
there is no .gnu_debuglink section in libpython.2.4.so.1.0.
I am obliged to generate the .gnu_debuglink section? 

I did it already with objcopy and it works!! But I had to modify
/usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1.0 ...

Thanks again for your help!
