It is quite easy to write the simulation time into a memory location 
which is not used in the program. This kind of pseudo register can be 
monitored/traced via gdb as every other memory.

That can be done by writing a pseudo "hardware" device which works on 
every "Step()".

The time is already available and clock speed can be given by command line.

No, you can also set breakpoints on cycle steps. And if you write the 
time from simulavr to a pseudo avr memory location you can break also 
from gdb.
