I'm sorry, I don't understand your question - could you explain?

As currently implemented there is no standard location.  We don't put
it in /etc here; we use "$prefix/$host/$target/lib/gdbinit" in case
you have a lot of different configurations installed in the same
place.  I didn't pick a naming policy since the default is the same
as it was before; no global init file.
