Sorry but this is very custom setup of GDB. In such case GDB should be
configured with special configure option for it (if any, IMO it should be
rather a vendor patch). Unaware why such custom setup should complicate usage
of GDB by all the users on regular GNU/Linux systems. It is normal nowadays
to use various virtualizations and chroot setups (like I also do) and one does
not expect called GDB does not follow standard
PYTHONHOME/PYTHONPATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables like all the other
system binaries do.

I believe these arguments just repeat the discussion several months old,
without any new facts brought in.
