Is "WARNING: The MY_UID variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank
string." coming from your docker or bash?
The check of gdb--check-interpreter looks pretty weak, as long as there
is anything that will be written to stdout before the gdb cmd itself, it
will fail with below check:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(unless (memq (aref string 0) '(?^ ?~ ?@ ?& ?* ?=))
#+end_src
which will further set below filter. The filter below seems preventing
the gdb-mi to work:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(set (make-local-variable 'gud-marker-filter) #'gud-gdb-marker-filter)
#+end_src
One can easily reproduce similar error, by wrapping around gdb with
"echo hi" at the front:
#+begin_src shell-script
#!/bin/sh
arg="$@"
echo hi
gdb -i=mi ${arg}
#+end_src
IMO, in the above cases, we should not immediately fall back to gud-gdb
filter. The user should at least get a chance (like yes-or-no-p) to
continue with gdb-mi, regardless of the sometimes-false-positive error.
