> The gdb plugin should be packaged appropriately. I'm not sure where/under which form.
> For example, on Ubuntu, GDB auto-load scripts are under {{/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/...}}.
> So, if a Arrow package installs {{/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libarrow.so.700.0.0}}, the {{gdb_arrow.py}} script could be installed as {{/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libarrow.so.700.0.0-gdb.py}}.
> (take the {{realpath}} of the installed DLL, prefix it with the GDB {{scripts-directory}} such as {{/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/}}, and append {{-gdb.py}} at the end of the filename)
