Re: find-debuginfo.sh change for gdb index

Here is a patch to just do the work directly in find-debuginfo.sh.  This
seemed simpler to me, but if you and Panu want a new script, I will do
that.

It would perhaps have been cleaner to make the gdb command simply
rewrite the objfile directly.  However, this turns out to be relatively
hairy with BFD.  So again, for simplicity I just stuck with invoking
objcopy directly.  I also verified that objcopy will preserve hard
links.
