You didn't attach GDB to Emacs. Instead, you started Emacs under GDB.
You should do it like this:
* From exterm:
$ ~/bin/emacs-debug &
* From Emacs:
M-x gdb
Run gdb (like this): egdb -i=mi /usr/X11R6/bin/xclock
Enable querying debuginfod servers for this session? (y or n) n
M-x gdb-many-windows
* Into this Emacs *gud-xclock* buffer:
(gdb) run # then from another terminal: pkill xclock
[Inferior 1 (process 76899) exited with code 01]
Now Emacs starts spinning the CPU.
* Into the first xterm:
$ egdb -p PID
where PID is the process ID of the Emacs process that spins the CPU.
Then at the prompt of this GDB:
(gdb) thread apply all bt
