Filled with a desire to use more recent versions of tools, I've been using emacs 23.4 / gdb 6.3 successfully for a while now, but brew recently updated to emacs 24.1. The gdb mode under this new version spits out the following garbage output (spacing intact):
Current directory is ~/
GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple version gdb-1752) (Sat Jan 28 03:02:46 UTC 2012)

Where is this new output coming from? It looks like it might be debugging output from gdb-mode, but that's a guess.
I also tried solving the problem by running a more recent version of gdb (again, through Homebrew), but I've yet to figure out how emacs selects which gdb executable for "M-x gdb" to run.
