+SYNOPSIS
+ char *bfd_follow_gnu_debugaltlink (bfd *abfd, const char *dir);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+ Takes a BFD and searches it for a .gnu_debugaltlink section. If this
+ section is found, it examines the section for the name of a file
+ containing auxiliary debugging information. It then searches the
+ filesystem for this file in a set of standard locations, including
+ the directory tree rooted at @var{dir}, and if found returns the
+ full filename.
+
+ If @var{dir} is NULL, it will search a default path configured into
+ libbfd at build time. [FIXME: This feature is not currently
+ implemented].
+
+RETURNS
+ <<NULL>> on any errors or failure to locate the debug file,
+ otherwise a pointer to a heap-allocated string containing the
+ filename. The caller is responsible for freeing this string.
