That's not entirely true: it does open a window with the source file.

Anyway I'm not saying you should use "M-x gud-gdb" instead of "M-x
gdb", I'm asking you to try gud-gdb just this once to see if it is
capable of resolving these file names.  Could you please try that and
report the results?  Knowing that could give some hint about where to
look for the reasons of your original problem.

Thanks.
