            Bug ID: 17824
           Summary: substitute-path ignored under gdb/mi (kdevelop ignores
                    breakpoints)
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.8
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: mi
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: gamberoni at libero dot it

Switching from command line gdb to a frontend (kdevelop, kdbg), one cannot go
on using 
   set substitute-path /build/buildd /path/to/sources
to tell gdb where to find sources.
When the interface to gdb is gdb/mi, substitute-path is ignored.
Obviously, having the the source files accessible through the path the
executable declares, and directing both gdb and the frontend to this same path
to the sources, solves the problem.
Trouble is discovering THIS is the problem. So this bug report, which could
also be closed by a note in substitute-path documentation.

In practice, the problem shows up as strange behaviour on the front-end, like
ignored breakpoints (kdevelop), or the source window not following execution
flow (kdbg).
