You need to say "continue" to let Emacs continue running after you
attach the debugger.

No, I usually start GDB first:

  $ gdb ./emacs
  ...
  (gdb) run -Q

But your way should also work, if you say "continue" after attaching
GDB.  And don't use -i=mi, since the MI interface is for another
program to drive GDB, it is not convenient for humans.
