If you exec after the fork you could do it with:
        gdb --exec=program1 --symbols=program2

if program1 exec program2.

if you only fork you can use the set follow_fork_mode setting to
follow the child. Hmm no that I check it, it does not seem to work
though.... I am using a 4.1 stablish system though. Perhaps it does work on
later systems.
