The detection is here:

https://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-builder/tree/source-builder/config/gdb-common-1.cfg#n7

Updates welcome. The detection support is a continuous work in progress so if
something is needed to help a specific case please add it. The config looks for
a suitable python to use, then for the config command and then the settings it has.

Andrew, I do not test building with macports or homebrew. The amount of work
that would generate for me would be enough to consume all my time.
