Glad this is unblocking you.  The operator() stuff is fine, it's just
because the debug is being emitted from within a C++ lambda function.

I started working on cleaning up the patch ready for submission to
master, but I'm pretty busy for the next few days, so it'll probably be
next week now before I post anything.

However, I'm not sure if this would ever be back-ported to the
gdb-17-branch, this isn't a regression or bug fix, handling a missing
NT_FILE note has never worked in GDB, so this is really a new
functionality patch, which would normally only be applied to master.

Thanks,
Andrew
