GDBN used instead of lit. "gdb". Index entries added for
print-object and _NSPrintForDebugger. @noindent added in one spot.

and separate_debug_objfile_backlink.
(put_objfile_before): New declaration.
* symfile.c: #include "filenames.h".

reread_separate_symbols to refresh its separate debug info
objfile, if it has one.
