We could clearly do that (or even be more discriminating and only
affecting buffers whose major mode is "related" to the debugged
program).

But there can be good reasons to use rectangle operations in programming
modes as well, so it would still clash.  I don't think it would be
better than just dropping the C-x SPC binding for gud-break.
