If you remove the --annotate=3 option M-x gdb will just behave like the command
line with the tool bar and keybindings, i.e., no source will be displayed.

Is REAL_LOCATION an environment variable or meta-language?

This shouldn't happen.  Does anybody else see these problems?

If by "this way" you mean 'gdb' with no option, you might as well use GDB
from the command line as you won't get many of the features that GUD mode
offers.
