Not really.

From the latter, I deduce that your GDB was configured with
--prefix=d:/usr
and, when you installed Python, you also changed its default prefix from
C:/, to also place it under d:/usr ... which is fine; it is your choice
to make. OTOH, _my_ GDB is configured with
--prefix=C:/MinGW
(which is consistent with convention for _all_ packages distributed by
MinGW.org, as has been enshrined in project policy for years), whereas,
since Python is _not_ distributed by MinGW.org, so I've installed it in
the default prefix prescribed by _its_ distributor, equivalent to
--prefix=C:/Python27
Since, in your case, the GDB and Python prefixes are the same, _your_
GDB views Python as bound to, and relocatable with, GDB. OTOH, in my
case the two prefixes are not the same, so _my_ GDB views Python as
independent, and thus not relocatable with GDB.
