You are right. I erased the other folder on my target, moved it there as
well and it still works.

Seems to work as well without sourcing ;)

.gdbinit loads automatically for me now, I don't need to source and also
no add-auto-load-safe-path

Which Yocto version do you use? I use 1.8

So let's try to summarize what seems to be necessary:

1) right .gdbinit on the right place ;)
2) Debug Configurations -> Debugger -> Main -> Use full file path to set
breakpoints (might not even be necessary)
3) Debug Configurations -> Debugger -> Shared Libraries -> Load shared
library symbols automatically
