Check the info doc, sec. 4.10. This is only supported on GNU/Linux 2.5.60+ and HP-UX 11.x+. If your platform doesn't support it, the best option is to insert a sleep() statement at the beginning of your child code and then have a new gdb session attach to the child process before the sleep expires.

I'm using 2.6.10 on debian sid.
