Closed issue by camthesaxman on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/44594

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 6.1.25_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate hold rrrmFFFFFF

### Package(s) Affected

cross-arm-none-eabi-gdb-12.1_1

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

_No response_

### Expected behaviour

The `arm-none-eabi-gdb` command should work correctly without warnings.

### Actual behaviour

arm-none-eabi-gdb throws numerous warnings about Python modules not being found. Most debugging features still work, though there are annoying warnings with every command. The native x86-64 gdb does not exhibit this behavior, but the arm gdb does. Sample output from debugging an ARM kernel in qemu:
```
Python Exception <class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>: No module named '_gdbevents'
arm-none-eabi-gdb: warning:
Could not load the Python gdb module from `/usr/share/gdb/python'.
Limited Python support is available from the _gdb module.
Suggest passing --data-directory=/path/to/gdb/data-directory.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Install cross-arm-none-eabi-gdb.
2. Run arm-none-eabi-gdb.
3. Run some commands in gdb and get spammed with Python errors.
