The new commands are:

        (gdb) substitute-path add <from> <to>
        (gdb) substitute-path remove
        (gdb) substitute-path

For what it's worth we added a similar facility to Apple gdb. Our command isn't very fancy:

(gdb) apropos pathname-sub set pathname-substitutions -- Set string substitutions to be used when searching for source files show pathname-substitutions -- Show string substitutions to be used when searching for source files

It takes a series of directory pairs, e.g.

(gdb) set pathname-substitutions /old1 /new1 /old2 /new2

etc. It uses buildargv to parse the arguments so they can be quoted. Making it a standard set/show command gets us MI support for free.
