Comments by Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>:

  This is the fix for RH BZ #981154

  It is mainly a testcase addition, but a minor fix in the gdb/build-id.c
  file was also needed.

  gdb/build-id.c was added by:

  commit dc294be54c96414035eed7d53dafdea0a6f31a72
  Author: Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
  Date:   Tue Oct 8 19:56:15 2013 +0000

  and had a little thinko there.  The variable 'filename' needs to be set to
  NULL after it is free'd, otherwise the code below thinks that it is still
  valid and doesn't print the necessary warning ("Try: yum install ...").
