Yes, I did not consider the work-shared situation in original patch neither,
thanks Mark to point it out, and I have to rework in this fix.

The idea of design is:

1. Try to collect sources from work-shared, and then from WORKDIR
     (The reason is the gcc case has sources in work-shared and WORKDIR)

2. While collecting:
     - Invoke debugedit to list source and header file names

     - Translate these file names to replace prefix_new with prefix_old
        (Revert -fdebug-prefix=<prefix_old>=<prefix_new>)

     - Follow prefix_old file names, and copy them to dest.

     - Dereference symlink in dest

3. Tweak prefix_new, prefix_old, and dest for work-shared/ WORKDIR 
situation,
     also for with/without -fdebug-prefix-map situation.

Currently kernel module has no dbg package generated, but I will
try to open it, and please wait my report for this case.
