> gdb.6.7 a.out
GNU gdb 6.7
(gdb)  b mydll.c:2
No source file named mydll.c.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
Breakpoint 1 (mydll.c:2) pending.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /local/lmckhou/testing/a.out 
Breakpoint 2 at 0xb7f4f48f: file mydll.c, line 2.
Pending breakpoint "mydll.c:2" resolved       <-------------------------
