Putting verbs at the end of the sentence produces awkward and hard to
understand sentences (unless you talk in German or Japanese ;-).
Using passive tense makes it even more so.  I would reword like this:

  In addition, @value{GDBN} supports @dfn{pending tracepoints}---
  tracepoints whose address is not yet resolved.  (This is similar to
  pending breakpoints.)
