That's useful to know.  In this case, though, I don't see that it
would help: I can see the differing behaviour using gdb in a terminal.
gdb isn't showing the compilation directory in this case, whereas with
a relative filename ("gcc-3.2 -g3 -o hello ./hello.c") it does.  I'd
guess details of how gdb-partial-output-buffer evolves probably
doesn't matter.

I don't know which program is at fault.
