You can change the behaviour to keep the current directory by setting
gud-chdir-before-run to nil. The problem with this arrangement is that it
might not find your .gdbinit file (as with Emacs) and it's generally less
obvious what the default directory is in Emacs than what the current
working directory is from the command line.
Dan might find it "extremely annoying" but this change goes back to
2001-05-24 when gud.el was in the lisp directory.
I quite like this default and suggest keeping it, but it might be a good
idea to document the variable gud-chdir-before-run in the manual.
