This is now also https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/show_bug.cgi?id=100126

I have now checked several Linux distros, old and new, and although
they keep their debuginfo files in different places, this patch works
on all of them.

Is this OK?  And, if so, which repos should I push the patch to?

Thanks.
