I ran into this both when compiling Nvidia and VMWare stuff, so the
culprit seems to be the debuginfo extraction code... Any ideas ?
Do any of the compile steps for this object file reference a filename
with two or more consecutive slashes in it, e.g. /path/to//some/file ?
I've seen a similar issue where resolving the double slash fixed the
problem.
