The problem is that GDB's output is line buffered so output isn't flushed
until a newline is sent.  This is the also true for the existing command
pp1.  However such commands do work with GDB within Emacs.  For that case
this should work:

define ppargs
  set $i = nargs
  printf "("
  while $i
    set $index = nargs - $i
    pp2 args[$index]
    set $i = $i - 1
    if $i
      printf " "
    end
  end
  printf ")\n"
end

I think it is possible.  I'll try to work something out.
