Using Emacs built from the CVS repository, if you type `M-x gdba' you will get a mode for GDB that has some of these features and more. Breakpoints are displayed as red bullets in the display margin om a graphics terminal. They are updated automatically even when set or deleted from the GUD buffer. This mode (in gdb-ui.el) has other features: stack buffer, stream separation, locals buffer, display windows etc. Please note, though, that it won't work properly with a released version of Emacs so you can't just download the lisp package.
