I think we already, unless I misunderstood what you are trying to say.
Every night, we build GDB on one Windows machine and then test it on
all other Windows machines we have, using a different install prefix.
GDB seems to be able to find all auxilary files without problem.

The only case when path "relocation" is turned off is when the user
configured directories such as the gdb-datadir using a path that is
not a subdir of the prefix.
