Secondly, if you're running gdb on an executable without debugging support then then figure out the address of the function in the executable. Then breakpoint at that address. Try help break at gdb console to find out how to break at an address.
Figuring out the exact address for a function might be tricky. Basically you stare hard at the disassembly of the not inlined functions where you suspect your function to be inlined and guess the address out by looking out the assembly instructions :). Might not be very easy with optimized code... but what more can you do with a binary blob?
