This is a duplicate of bug#61162.  If no one comes with a better
solution, I will at some point revert on master the change whose
fallout causes this (it was already reverted on emacs-29, but not on
master, since I still hope someone will have an idea how to fix that
properly).

However, in general I suggest to switch to using "M-x gdb" instead of
"M-x gud-gdb", since the latter uses deprecated capabilities of GDB
itself, and can stop working any day, if the GDB developers decide to
remove those capabilities.
