You only need to start gdb once as it will re-read the symbols if you edit and
recompile Emacs.

That way the you only need to pass arguments to run once just as you
would on the command line with gdb --args and you keep the gdb history.

OTOH , it doesn't bother me if you want to delete the set args line from
.gdbinit in the repository.
