No I don't but…

… Thank you for suggesting it because I have tried with "gdb ./emacs"
from a xterm and I am not able to reproduce this lock.  I have also
tried with 'M-x gud-gdb' and I also ended up stuck.  So there might be
something at play in gdb-mi.el.

FWIW, I have also noticed that even though I have closed the stuck Emacs
and delete the *gud* Emacs process.  The system process for GDB and
Emacs are still there and in weird states.  ps gives me the following
STAT:

      - GDB is DlL which means: in uninterruptible wait, ld.so has
        syscall pinning, libc.so has syscall pinning
        
      - Emacs is TXlL which means: stopped process, being traced or
        debugged, ld.so has syscall pinning, libc.so has syscall pinning
