They are commands from .gdbinit in Emacs src directory.  You should start gdb 
when standing in that directory, or source that file into gdb.  That is, when 
gdb is started:

(gdb) source <path to emacs sources>/src/.gdbinit

I don't think lldb understands Emacs .gdbinit, so there is no reason to use it. 
 I think it yses Python as a scripting language (yech ...).
