I forgot to mention that it might be possible to change the command
line.  M-x gdb RET offers you to type a command.  You could try
typing "make frumple" there, if frumple is the target that invokes
the debugger in the end.

But this might fail because M-x gdb RET does some magic with the
command line that you type.  Investigate the function
gud-gdb-massage-args for the gory details.
