Oh, sorry. I tried on a different machine, and realized one have to use
"run&".

So, here's what I did:

$ cat main.c
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <unistd.h>

    int main(void) {
        for (int i = 0; ; i++) {
            printf("%d\n", i);
            sleep(1);
        }
    }

$ gcc -g -o break main.c
$ emacs -Q main.c
M-x gdb RET
# in *gud-break*, NOTE it's "run&"
(gdb) run&
# in main.c
(goto-line 6)
(gud-break 1) ; or C-x C-a C-b
# nothing happens
M-: (gud-call "break 6") RET
# breakpoint is set and process execution is paused on hitting that
breakpoint

Hope that's more clear now!
