OK.

   ^^^^^^^^^^
Either "use a script" or "use scripts", probably the former.

"objfile" should be in @var, and it should explain what is "objfile".

Why "yes"?

Again, "objfile" should be in @var.

OK with those changes.

"reading will be removed" is very ambiguous.  Suggest something like

  Reading of .gdbinit files in current directory has been deprecated
  and will be removed in a future version of GDB.
