The stand alone debugger currently uses Elf/Dwarf parsing to resolve the source file dependencies of a binary. 
  There are situations where the elf file may have a customized layout and the local parser(s) may not succeed. 
   For this cases however a corresponding GDB stub needs to understand and properly parse a customized layout. 
  The stand alone debugger can then try resolving the source files via the associated GDB using the command "info sources", 

This bug will track the implementation of this alternative.

A proposed solution will follow shortly.
