"Look for it" means that GDB will search the file there. But what you
really want to say is that GDB will read the file, because "if the
system-wide init file lives in GDB's data-directory", there's no need
to search for the file: it's already known to be there.
Alternatively, you could say this simpler, e.g.:
GDB now looks for a system-wide init file in the directory specified
by the --data-directory command line option.
(Assuming I understood correctly what the feature does.)

Same here.
OK with those changes. Thanks.
