This was the problem that was confusing me. When the gdb prompt appeared,
I assumed gdb was ready and when I entered up, I had to wait 2 more minutes.
But it doesn't matter what command one enters, even a 'quit' will do.
Nothing fancy needed (no core, no specific gdb commands).
All I'm doing now is:
1. start emacs -Q
2. M-x gdb -> gdb --annotate=3 <image-name>
3. as soon as the prompt appears, I type quit and then I have to wait for
2 minutes till gdb finally exits
But when I use "gdb --fullname", the same sequence takes about 15-20 seconds,
i.e. entering 'q' in gdb will immediately terminate gdb.
I should have analyzed this earlier, sorry for leading you on the wrong track.

6.4 (just installed it last week) or 6.3

no, I start a plain emacs and then gdb right away

Will do.
