I tried both ways on latest GDB from git and it seems to work for me.
For DEFINE_GDB_SCRIPT  macro, If the specified file without any path like
DEFINE_GDB_SCRIPT ("test.py")
then it needs to be in the current directory. This is the directory which you
get from 'pwd' on the terminal. 

You can also specify a path in this macro and then gdb will look for the file
on that path. You will also have to add the folder where this file is 
in the auto-load safe-path.
