Yes, I realized that.. a bit late.. I already killed that gdb session and started emacs rebuild.

While that was going on, I happened to read:

     ‘.gdbinit’ file in this directory. 

in (emacs) Checklist (from here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2009-07/msg00178.html ).

Lesson learned: "gdb ./src/emacs" is not the same as "cd src; gdb ./emacs".
