(a) It is called "set auto-load scripts-directory".
    (To match the plural of "set auto-load gdb-scripts"
     and "set auto-load python-scripts".)

(b) (gdb) help set auto-load scripts-directory 
    [...]
    Directories listed here need to be
    present also in the 'set auto-load safe-path' option.

I find violation of security coherency if there
exists "set auto-load safe-path" to permit loading files from also other
location.


Thanks,
