When a new remote launch configuration is being provisioned, it's required to provide the Gdbserver application name in the remote server, the label describing this field states "Gdbserver name:" However it's quite often that the name is not sufficient as the remote connection may not initialize all the unix shell environment, therefore for new users it's would be clearer to configure this field, if the name is changed to "Gdbserver path:".
The following Gerrit change is reflecting the propsed change: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/13527/

Although the flip side is that user may not realize they can put just the name, if their PATH variable is properly set, I've hit this annoyance more than once too. Comments in Gerrit.

True, there is no perfect solution although the advantage of indicating a path is that the it will work even if it can be abbreviated to the executable.
