Sorry, I don't know the answers.  Maybe Luis or someone else does.

In general, AFAIK GDB searches directories recorded in the program's
debug info, and also some source directories.  See the node "Source
Path" in the GDB manual.  Also try "show solib-search-path".  The
"show libthread-db-search-path" command could also be relevant; see
"Threads" in the manual.
