I noticed in the documentation that for vfork in particular, because it allows the child process to take over the parent's address space until exec'ing, the follow-fork may not be very helpful.

There may also be a problem with the process followed by gdb. When you use vfork, the system create a new process, but gdb may only debug on process at the same. It must choose to follow the parent process or the child process. The default behaviour is to follow the parent process, but you may change it with the gdb "set follow-fork-mode child" command.
