@subsection Installed System-wide Configuration Scripts
@cindex system-wide configuration scripts
The @file{system-gdbinit} directory, located inside the data-directory
(as specified by @option{--with-gdb-datadir} at configure time) contains
a number of scripts which can be used as system-wide init files. To
automatically source those scripts at startup, @value{GDBN} should be
configured with @option{--with-system-gdbinit}. Otherwise, any user
should be able to source them by hand as needed.
The following scripts are currently available:

@pindex elinos.py
@cindex ELinOS system-wide configuration script
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.
@item @file{wrs-linux.py}
@pindex wrs-linux.py
@cindex Wind River Linux system-wide configuration script
This script is useful when debugging a program on a target running
Wind River Linux. It expects the @env{ENV_PREFIX} to be set to
the host-side sysroot used by the target system.
