Hi,
I want gdb to break whenever calls are made to functions within a
particular library. How can I set such a library level breakpoint?
Thanks

In general, you can't.
Maybe set an access watchpoint on the library's whole text section?

Another way is to do something like this:
bash$ nm /path/to/lib.so | grep ' T ' |
sed -e 's/.* T //' -e 's/^/break /' > gdb.cmds
(gdb) source gdb.cmds
Cheers,
