This will depend on your simulator, but in general, gdb will not be
able to step through the execution of the Verilog code.  Try setting
breakpoints on your PLI functions, and then running instead of
stepping.  The debugger should stop when it reaches your function.
You can then step through your PLI function, or continue running
until the next breakpoint.
