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:
