If you run GDB from the command line, does it DTRT? (I don't think it does)

I see that M-x dbx does this, and perhaps gud-tbreak, gud-remove and
gud-tbreak should be changed too, but I think GDB needs to be fixed first.

I guess another solution is for GCC not to use files with the same name, which
can presumably lead to confusion elsewhere too.
