Or you can use process attaching, sticking with command-line gdb instead
of gui.  I frequently start a program in one console, then in another
console, use ps to determine its pid, then invoke 'gdp path/to/program
pid' where pid was determined from ps to break in to the program.
Depending on the program, it may be helpful to recompile with an added
sleep() in main, to give you time to attach before it does anything worth
debugging.
