+The @file{system-gdbinit} directory, located inside the data-directory

+should be able to source them by hand as needed.

+This script is useful when debugging a program on an ELinOS target.
+It takes advantage of the environment variables defined in a standard
+ELinOS environment in order to determine the location of the system
+shared libraries, and then sets the @samp{solib-absolute-prefix}
+and @samp{solib-search-path} variables appropriately.
