It reads both, this is from /etc/profile
if [ -n "${BASH_VERSION}" ] ; then
# Newer bash ebuilds include /etc/bash/bashrc which will setup PS1
# including color. We leave out color here because not all
# terminals support it.
if [ -f /etc/bash/bashrc ] ; then
# Bash login shells run only /etc/profile
# Bash non-login shells run only /etc/bash/bashrc
# Since we want to run /etc/bash/bashrc regardless, we source it
# from here. It is unfortunate that there is no way to do

# it in the user's dot-files), but it shouldn't make any
# difference.
. /etc/bash/bashrc
