Doesn't this mean we end up with multiple file names?

Second problem is that the above produces this:

        1:      .word 0xec000000
.pushsection .rodata.str, "a"
2:      .asciz "__FILE__"
.popsection
.pushsection __bug_table,"a"
3:      .word 1b, 2b
        .hword __LINE__, 0
.popsection

which is clearly not what we want.  Adding another level of indirection
starts to get closer to what we desire:

        1:      .word 0xec000000
.pushsection .rodata.str, "a"
2:      .asciz ""t.c""
.popsection
.pushsection __bug_table,"a"
3:      .word 1b, 2b
        .hword 19, 0
.popsection

but we're still ending up with multiple strings containing the filename,
which is going to excessively bloat the kernel no end.
