 Actually, it might actually help when using the gdb scripts that load
 module symbol tables, since module_base will point to the directory
 from which the module executable code is loaded.  The debug info would
 not be found if it is left in /usr/libdata/debug/... (if I understand
 the sys/gdbscripts/modload script correctly).
