I tried to move gdb into a distinct group with "setpgid(gdb_pid, 0)", 
right after spawning it with "g_spawn_async_with_pipes".
If I do so SIGINT doesn't come to IDE but a program being debugged quits 
right after executing "-exec-interrupt".
The gdb output is:

^done
(gdb)
&"Quit\n"
=thread-exited, .....
=thread-group-exited,....
*stopped,reason="exited-normally"

I also tried to do all this executing gdb from a terminal window and a 
program had stopped correctly with stop reason="signal-received", no 
quits...

Can't it be a bug, I've found several discussions with suggestions to 
send SIGINT or SIGTSTP directly to a process being debugged instead of 
using "-exec-interrupt" ?
