>Description:
When a process is launched from gdb, gdb is able to detect dynamic .so loads and automatically read in symbols for them.

However, when gdb attaches to a running process, it is not apparently able to detect dynamic .so loads, so setting breakpoints (both pending and normal) doesn't work.

(A hacky, partial workaround is to quit gdb and then run it again.)
