We have thousand of C source files on linux and we use either stabs+
or dwarf-2 and never have any problem with it finding the source.

I think William's problem may be that he's giving the full path on
the command line - we always compile in the right directory but it
does still find the source if we run elsewhere.

I'll try what William was doing when I get a chance and see if I can
reproduce his problem.
