I am still diving into the problem.
I see that there is tool-bar-map, which probably (?) keeps look
of toolbar of buffer currently visited (???)
But for example, when I visit tool.cpp file, icons I added
c++-mode-map's tool-bar are not visible in toolbar of this buffer. why?

When I visit main.cpp (the one gdb stopped thus main.cpp buffer has
another toolbar contents), I see that tool-bar-map contents are
different, which is good because toolbar contents of buffer where gdb
stopped are different.
But what surprizes me (my unnecesarilly) is the fact that tool-bar-map
is global there and buffer is still in c++-mode. Does it mean that gdb
 overwrites global tool-bar-map.
All this is very curious to me and I still cannot find any documentation
on how to deal with toolbars in emacs.

I wonder now, maybe I should just ask about my original problem that
would lead me to the question. Maybe in new message.
