At this point, I can't remember whether "set debug-file-directory"
existed when I was trying to get this work, or whether I just
overlooked it. In either case, the current documentation (in the info
file) is not good. (At the least, some paragraphs refer to it as a
directory, others as a list of directories, and the adjective "global"
is present in some places and not others.)
What I really want is for the debug file location to be calculated
*before* the solib-absolute-prefix is applied to the shared library,
rather than after. That would make things work very simply.
