It isn't really possible with gdb.

I'd like it to be -- I wish "rbreak *" would DTRT -- but unfortunately
some parts of gdb aren't as scalable as I'd like, and nobody has yet put
the work into fixing them.

I've personally never actually wanted to do this, but if I were going to
tackle it I would either look at using ltrace, systemtap, or writing a
valgrind skin (perhaps one exists already, I don't know).
