This isn't the problem.  Extending the GDB native backend to handle
multiple processes wouldn't be hard; it's extending the user interface
and process control and breakpoint management and shared library
support and so on to handle multiple processes that is difficult.

GDB simply doesn't support what you want to do.  Yet.

Nothing has happened on this front in a long long time.
