Oops, OK, I did not expect difficulties.
The easier should be just to use TCL commands 'cd' (and restore it to 'pwd'),
and then do not pass $srcdir/$subdir to gdb_compile (you cannot use
build_executable and you also cannot use prepare_for_testing).
The more safe way against compiler output changes would be to generate DWARF.
This case should be the part
compdir_absolute_ldir_missing__file_basename
from not yet committed patch/testcase:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-04/msg00106.html
so one could simplify that testcase; the testcase is a bit complex, though.
Thanks,
