This is no longer the case, if it ever was.  What exactly didn't work
for you when you tried several simultaneous sessions?  The buffer
where you type GDB commands is named "*gud-PROGRAM*", so you have
separate buffers for different sessions.  And if you start each one
from a separate Emacs frame, you should be able to have separate
multi-window configurations (see gdb-many-windows) for each session.
