Debug into glibc with source code display in gdb on Debian

Hi,

I'm trying to track the curl failed tests by debugging select() function
(or system call?) defined in glibc using gdb. When I executed `b _hurd_select`
to set a break point and run the program. The gdb stopped at the breakpoint
but it gives me the following info:

```
Thread 2 hit Breakpoint 1, _hurd_select (nfds=7, pollfds=0x0, 
readfds=0x103cc20, writefds=0x103cc40, exceptfds=0x103cc60,
    timeout=0x103cba4, sigmask=0x0) at ./hurd/hurdselect.c:51
51      ./hurd/hurdselect.c: No such file or directory.
```

I expected it will show me the source code of hurdselect.c.

There is a simpler program to reproduce: write a hello world program and
compile with -g option, step into printf in gdb. Here is the output
info:

```
Thread 4 hit Breakpoint 1, main () at main.c:6
6           printf ("Hello World\n");
(gdb) s
0x010ff074 in __GI__IO_puts (str=0x1518 "Hello World") at ./libio/ioputs.c:33
33      ./libio/ioputs.c: No such file or directory.
```

Using `list` or `l` command it shows only the following:

```
(gdb) l
30      in ./libio/ioputs.c
```

On my Arch GNU/Linux it automatically downloaded the source code and
give the following (the last two lines are what I expected):

```
Breakpoint 1, main () at main.c:6
6           printf ("Hello\n");
(gdb) s
0x00007ffff7e1fa78 in __GI__IO_puts (str=0x555555556004 "Hello") at ioputs.c:35
35        size_t len = strlen (str);
```

The libc0.3-dbg package is installed on Debian Hurd:
```
libc0.3-dbg/unstable,now 2.40-6 hurd-i386 [installed]
  GNU C Library: detached debugging symbols
```

I strongly suspects I missed a package but I cannot find which one as I
have the same issue on a Debian GNU/Linux virtual machine :/.

Any help is appreciated :).

Best,
Zhaoming
