Its like this  . Look at the commands command for gdb .

So at each program point if you specify the variables of 
interest for you, you could generate the following set of 
commands for the same.

break <location>
commands
  > p <variable>
  > p $eax
  > p $ebx

etc.

or you could use the display command for each of the 
variables that you wish to see and then single step as many 
instructions / source lines as you want.
