I was able to reproduce. I haven't had time to figure it out yet,
but, with a simple hello world program:

(gdb) b printf
Function "printf" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n

I thought it might be because printf is in a shared library. Breakpoints
on the main objfile seem to be working well enough:

(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x10000454: file toto.c, line 6.

So I tried started the program's execution, and things got really
ugly:

(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x10000454: file toto.c, line 6.
Starting program: /[...]/toto
[hangs at near 100% CPU usage]
