GDB Can't Find debuginfo file via symbolic link?

- Subject: GDB Can't Find debuginfo file via symbolic link?
I have the following situation:
/usr/lib/debug is symlinked to a remote nfs drive directory:
/usr/lib/debug -> /nfsdrive/dirA/./dirB
My debug info RPM has a file that will install as:
/usr/lib/debug/dirC/myLibName.so.debug
When gdb goes looking in the global directory it seems to ignor the "/./"
and everything after it in the symbolic name so it looks for:
/nfsdrive/dirA/dirC/myLibName.so.debug
instead of:
/nfsdrive/dirA/./dirB/dirC/myLibName.so.debug
I looked in the bug list but couldn't find anything. Is this a known
problem?
Thanks,
