[for completeness sake]
I'd be ok with just adding something to the manual.
It would be good to document the fact that a gdb install tree can be
moved and gdb will still find its relocatable ancillary files.
This goes along with the ability to do "make install DESTDIR=/foo"
which is a nice capability.
