Isn't that too late, though? The GDB manual says:
On some targets, GDB is capable of processing MI commands even while the
target is running. This is called "asynchronous command execution"
(*note Background Execution::). The frontend may specify a preference
for asynchronous execution using the '-gdb-set mi-async 1' command,
which should be emitted before either running the executable or
attaching to the target.
However, the gdb-input call sends the request without waiting for the
response, so the handler of the response will be invoked much later,
after GDB already processed quite a few commands sent to it by Emacs
in the meantime. Thus, by the time gdb-set-mi-async-handler is
called, and we see the "No symbol" thingy and send the target-async
command instead, it could be too late, because the executable was
already run.
There's actually more here than meets the eye; see bug#63084.
Given all that mess, I wonder if "M-x gdb" in its current shape indeed
supports the asynchronous execution. If it doesn't, we may be better
off not sending that command at all for now, until bug#63084 is fixed.
