Sorry for the confusion.

In the example, `cross-gdb` is actually a wrapper around the real gdb binary,
passing one or more `-x path-to-gdbinit` options.

I had tried '-ix' / '--init-command' before, but must have drawn an incorrect
conclusion, because now I tried it again and indeed it works.

Moreover, when using '-x', I now notice that the error about
auto-load-safe-path can actually be solved by _first_ setting the
auto-load-safe-path, and _then_ setting the sysroot. When using '-ix' this
order no longer matters.

So, problem solved, thanks a lot, and sorry for the noise.
