Sigh... nothing you do is good enough.  The explanation is only 2
lines, btw.

Anyway, we already have a similar warning in loadup.el.  I remember it
startled me when I first saw it, but now I'm used to it and don't see
it as a nuisance.  Also, the starting GDB blurb displays quite a few
lines on its own.

Of course, if others think the additional message is more annoying
than it is useful, I will remove it.

As I said, I'm open to suggestions.  I even posted a question to the
GDB mailing list, but until now no one replied.
