Can this be used for what you want:
(gdb) help set debug-file-directory
Set the directories where separate debug symbols are searched for.
Separate debug symbols are first searched for in the same
directory as the binary, then in the `.debug' subdirectory,
and lastly at the path of the directory of the binary with
each global debug-file-directory component prepended.
