If you have GDB 7.4 or greater, there's a skip command, which lets you skip functions or entire files. After you mark a file or function for skipping, it won't step into it again. From the GDB Manual -- Skipping Over Functions and Files

skip [linespec]

skip function [linespec]
After running this command, the function named by linespec or the function containing the line named by linespec will be skipped over when stepping. 

skip file [filename]
After running this command, any function whose source lives in filename will be skipped over when stepping.
