I would suggest to add another sentence with a few examples of which
data files will be looked up in that directory.  Also, since this is a
directory (as opposed to a search path), let's not use "path" in the
doc string.

> +* Data Files::                  GDB data files

This section is not about data files, it's about where GDB finds them.
So I suggest to change the text to the right of the menu item to
"Where @value{GDBN} looks for its data files."

> +@section GDB Data Files
            ^^^
"@value{GDBN}"

> +@cindex prefix for data files

As in the doc string (and for the manual this is even more important),
I think we should tell here what files are looked up there.

Otherwise, the patch for the manual is fine.

Thanks.
