I didn't know... I will gladly fix it.

First attached is a patch which provides the changes made on top
of the first submission, showing the changes I made based on your
feedback. It also includes a NEWS entry.

And second patch is the actual full patch.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.texinfo (Installed System-wide Configuration Scripts):
        Add subsection describing the scripts now available under
        the data-dir's system-gdbbinit subdirectory.
        * NEWS: Add entry announcing the availability of system-wide
        configuration scripts for ElinOS and Wind River Linux.

OK to commit?

Thank you,
