First of all: CDT *does* support breakpoint in libraries and it works
well!

All you have to do is to type in the "break" command from the GDB
console.

What is missing is the ruler on the right hand side or some other means
of translating current source file name + line number into a GDB
command. The source file is opened in Eclipse either via Open External
file, or via stepping into the file during debugging.

Alternative:

How about adding a "set breakpoint on current line" from the
right-mouse-click menu?
