Perhaps this should actually look for the executable (with "test -f"),
instead of just checking for the non-empty directory. If you agree,
then this test should be moved down, where it falls back on PATH:

If you use "test -f", you must append a .exe extension, because
there's no file named `gdb' on those systems which use .exe.
