Hi Doug, the regression affects any loading from /usr/share/gdb/auto-load . 5b2bf9471f1499bee578fcd60c05afe85794e280 is the first bad commit commit 5b2bf9471f1499bee578fcd60c05afe85794e280 Author: Doug Evans Date: Fri Nov 29 21:29:26 2013 -0800 Move .debug_gdb_script processing to auto-load.c. Simplify handling of auto-loaded objfile scripts.

To completely disable this security protection add set auto-load safe-path / line to your configuration file "/home/jkratoch/.gdbinit". For more information about this security protection see the "Auto-loading safe path" section in the GDB manual. E.g., run from the shell: info "(gdb)Auto-loading safe path" (gdb) _ That is it tries to load "forbidden" /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.3990.0-gdb.py but it should load instead /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.3990.0-gdb.py* Although that is also not exactly this way, there does not exist any /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.3990.0-gdb.py despite regressed GDB says so.
