Huh? AFAIK, I'm using the *same* heuristic that M-x gdb uses when invoked
normally.  That is, if the executable includes a pathname then that is used
for the default-directory, and if it doesn't then the default-directory of the
buffer that was current when gdb was invoked, is used. The latter behaviour is
analagous to what happens if gdb is invoked from the command line, of course.
However, if the heuristic fails, the user has only to type `cd DIRECTORY'.

You seem to be arguing against the existing behaviour in gud.el
