Ok, it's done.

I'm currently looking into discarding .gdbinit and loading the
printers manually from within the test scripts. Since Roland demanded
that the printers be scattered among the submodules instead of being
all placed in the pretty-printers subdir, I now have to figure out
which submodules actually have printers, and point to those paths
(yes, I know it's only nptl for now, but I want this to be easily
extensible). Right now I can't think of any solution that's clean
enough, so any suggestions are welcome.
