No one's speaking about pattern recognition.

If gdb does not automatically step a number of instructions to see whether subsequent code has debug information, you need pattern recognition in gdb to automatically detect such situations and to avoid the problem you described (gdb skipping or stepping over such code, rather than stepping into it). See this thread: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2009-04/msg00008.html
