With the current trunk

./emacs -Q
M-x gdb RET ../lib-src/emacsclient RET
At the gud prompt:

run -a "" Makefile

This gives an error:  
Problem parsing arguments: interpreter-exec console "r -a "" Makefile"
and the program does not start.

This is a regressions, it works with emacs-23.2 (which was
using --annotate).  It also works when running gdb from the command line.

This looks like a quoting error.  I think gud should be replacing each 
`"' by `\"'.  If you do this manually, the error goes away and the 
program starts.

I can't reproduce this error with latest trunk.  Probably it was fixed
in the last round of fixes to gdb-mi.el; feel free to re-open if you
still encounter the problem.
