I'm having trouble loading a .gdbinit file located in the current directory. On starting gdb, I get this:

warning: File "/home/user1/test/.gdbinit" auto-loading has been declined by your `auto-load safe-path' set to "$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load".
I can load the .gdbinit file in the current directory by starting gdb with:
gdb -iex 'add-auto-load-safe-path .'
as described here. but is there a way set $debugdir to include the current directory?
Trying
$ export debugdir=.
$ gdb
yields the same warning as above.
