In fact I find this a distribution specific part, which current FSF GDB does
not address and it may never should be.
What about printing in FSF GDB:
For more information about this security protection see the
"Auto-loading safe path" section in the GDB manual.
And in Fedora GDB to patch it for:
For example, run from the shell: info "(gdb)Auto-loading safe path"
As Fedora could also address the common problem of uninstalled gdb-doc and
therefore depending on 'rpm -q gdb-doc' exit code Fedora could print:
For example, run from the shell: yum -y install gdb-doc; info "(gdb)Auto-loading safe path"
Sure Fedora is unrelated to this gdb-patches list, just giving the picture how
distro specific parts can be useful and at the same time very unrelated to FSF
GDB.
Thanks,
