"set breakpoint pending on"

(gdb) help set breakpoint pending
Set debugger's behavior regarding pending breakpoints.
If on, an unrecognized breakpoint location will cause gdb to create a
pending breakpoint.  If off, an unrecognized breakpoint location results in
an error.  If auto, an unrecognized breakpoint location results in a
user-query to see if a pending breakpoint should be created.
