When using gdb-mode, I have trouble finding files in the following situation:

I have directories: Foo/Bar, Foo/Src

binaries are in Foo/Bar, where I'm running GDB.
Source is in Foo/Src.

I compile in Foo/Bar, using e..g, gcc -o -c ../Src/woof.cc

when I'm in gdb-mode within emacs (18.53) and examine file ``woof.cc'',
and try to set a break-point, GDB tells me that file my binary doesn't
reference file ``woof.cc''.

instead, it's looking for ``../Src/woof.cc''. When I hit breakpoints, I
do, in fact, pop up in ../Src/woof.cc.

it should ask me something like ``do you mean....'' or somesuch.

this happens with gdb-3.1.2
