I don't think it's a real danger.  One must invest a non-trivial
effort to have GDB configured without a single relocatable directory.

The requirement was to explain this succinctly.  If the above is not
deemed good enough, I'd rather not say anything at all.

I tried that, but found no good place to say that.  Just saying
something where --configuration is described will get this lost in the
humongous manual, and users will not necessarily know where to look.

Again, if the above is not good enough, let's forget about the whole
thing.
