[issue15043] test_gdb is disallowed by default security settings in Fedora 17

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com>:

Running test_gdb on Fedora 17 produces a litany of the following error:

- warning: File "/home/ncoghlan/devel/py3k/python-gdb.py" auto-loading has been declined by your `auto-load safe-path' set to "/usr/share/gdb/auto-load:/usr/lib/debug:/usr/bin/mono-gdb.py".

Presumably some security features in gdb have either been added, or enabled by default, with the F17 update.

The devguide needs to be updated with a reference to the relevant gdb security settings so contributors can get it running again.
