Get a newer version of gdb.

Alternatively, start with
break main
run
set argv[0] = "out/bin/lilypond"
(or whatever it is where you are starting LilyPond from)
continue

About a year's worth of gdb is confused by symbolic links.  You can also
replace the symbolic link by a hard link or copy, but then you need to
keep it up to date yourself.
