The last line from GDB tells it all: it put a breakpoint in the
startup code, not in your program.

The problem is that, since the program has exited, there's no useful
value of the ``current source file''.  You should say something like
this instead:

   "break main.c:25"

This will set a breakpoint on line 25 of the file main.c (change to
adapt to your file name).

Alternatively, use the `start' command to run the program till the
entry to the `main' function, and then use "break 25".
