Ah, okay, now I'm beginning to see what is happening.

If you type "break _start" (or whatever your label is called), I'll bet 
gdb asks you the same question. You really need to use "break *_start", 
since _start is only a LABEL, not a FUNCTION. [Okay, I am assuming you 
didn't write your assembler code make the distinction.]
