You want to test the printers in the source tree, not the system
one's right?  At least by default.

How about:

- add whatever lines those are to a gdb script that lives along
  side the tests.

- have the harness start gdb with:

   gdb -nx -ix /path/to/that/script

No need to manually tweak ~/.gdbinit that way.

Thanks,
