Oh well,  In which case I shall assume that the patch works and check it 
in to the sources.  If you ever come across this problem again, feel

        * dwarf2dbg.c (INSERT_DIR_SEPARATOR): New macro.  Handles the
        insertion of a directory separator character into a string at a
        given offset.  Uses heuristics to decide when to use a backslash
        character rather than a forward-slash character.
        (dwarf2_directive_loc): Use the macro.
        (out_debug_info): Likewise.
