With recent gdbs you can: it'll ask you if you want to create a breakpoint 
for a module yet to be loaded.

Generally that's a bad idea because you'll very likely mistype the 
function signature (namespace, arguments, constness, etc.)

Also don't compile the code with optimisation (-O2 or -O1), or you'll see 
the line-jumping David is talking about.
