In that case, if you just did M-x gdb, which most people would, you would start
in default-directory which can be fairly unintuitive at times, e.g
/usr/share/info if you are viewing Info.  The GDB manual also describes the
current behaviour so that would need to be updated.  Despite its faults, people
are used to the current bahaviour and I think you would get more complaints by
changing it.
