It's possible.  But `C-x' is used as prefix by hundreds of basic Emacs
functions -- not just gdb.  You'll have redefine the bindings for all
of them.

A lot of tedious work for something which can easily be avoided by
using another key-binding which is guaranteed not to conflict with any
pre-defined Emacs bindings.
