I don't think you can do this in 21.2 but in the "soon-to-be-released"
Emacs 22 you can set or customise gud-gdb-command-name eg in your .emacs
put:

(setq gud-gdb-command-name "gdb --annotate=3 /home/nick/myprog")

However this is not really how it is generally used because one day
you might want to debug another program!
